Aprox how much power can a th200c handel? I'm in the process of building a 383 and was wondering if that tranny with a little help will handel around 350-400anyone have any ideas? I just want to know if I can run this tranny for a little while before I get the 700r4 and swap it.

Thanks guys

 

run it till it pops-then put a th350 in-it's the same length as the 200 and the driveline will still fit.

 

The 200 can work ok, add a Shift kit at least for now. Call TransGo on which hole feeds in the separator plate to change for a performance setup.

 

When i installed my 343 hp 355, i left the 200c in and beat on it nasty for a whole year before swapping to my th350. Now its in my buddys hotrod 70 pickup behind a 408 small block. It's still going strong. It's a completely stock tranny, all i did when i picked up my car was change the fluid and filter, add a little Lucas, and installed a trans cooler. Its all in how you treat em. number 1 thing is to keep em cool, heat is the deadliest thing to a transmission. The 200c is notorious for blowing up behind big blocks, but as long as you dont run more than about 375 horses or 300 ft. lb. of torque you should be fine, and those numbers are pushing it.

 

don't bother spending money on the 200. it will be the weak link behind your 383 and you would be money ahead using it for a th350 or 700r4 that can handle the power of a 383. the 200 is rated below 250 ft-lb and isn't worth the time or money IMO.

 

go ahead and slap in a powerglide with some 4.11 gears and call it a day. youd have a real screamer!

 

Well thanks for the input guys I think that I'm gonna run it and save money for a good built 700r4.
thanks again Dan
