the T350 will work fine... strong enough for that 283... you just would need a shift kit possible later on... but then again maybe you might want to row some gears...

 

haha...first you give me da left,right,left combo...
then you sneak in the uppercut KO punch huh???

 

nah... just wanted you to feel welcomed.... :thumbup:

 

thankz man... :evil:

 

stick with the 350 if you don't need OD. Get a lockup converter type if you can.

 

hey dude,

remember i still got those 2004R's that judd never called me to come and git... so possibly you could have one if you wanted... but you can't have my T5.. sorry....

 

Brudder,
Kinda think of sticking with the t350...maybe adding a shift kit...
but if i were to use a 2004r what kinda changes would i need to make???
ie: trans x-member,driveshaft,kickdown,etc???

 

the 200-4rs are the same length as the th350 so the driveshaft will work but the cross member will have to me moved either forward or back a bit. You'll need a throttle valve cable (not a kickdown) to be adjusted properly or you'll burn up the 200-4r in a hurry. Bowtie overdrives make a adjustable cable and bracket for different types of carbs. The 200-4r has a nice ratio put in some 4.11 gears to get that 283 spinning and have fun.

 

AAAhhh...New knowledge for me ...Thanks for your reply RippinRob :thumbup:

 

Sorry,i meant Ron :embarrass

 

oh no... no 4.11's... not for the beer runner.... that would put the wheels too high in the air...

 

two e-brakes for the rear wheels... :thumbup:

 

huh... you getting posts confused?

 

No.. :thumbup: i meant wheels in the air,
use two e-brakes (one each side) for
steering... :evil:

 

lol... then you would need 5.13 gears....

 

like i said...i'll cross that bridge when i get there...
right now i'm just gathering info & making friends... :thumbup:

 

Dittos on sticking with the TH350. It's plenty strong for what you're doing with it. Overdrive is nice, but if your motor doesn't idle good at less than 850, If you go to a 700R4, get ready to spend at least $700 for a modified stall - lockup converter.

 

PrimeMover,
Yep,it's looking that way...i'm thinking
the old saying right now..."if it ain't broke
don't fix it"...the t350 works & is there
already...just gotta R&R it to put a shift
kit in....
By the way...got any room for my brother
& me up there @ the top of the world????

Thanks Kimo :thumbup:
