2004r to th350

[Brianlundgren]

Hi everyone!
I'm driving a 1985 el camino. I recently swapped the old 305/th200 for a refreshed 350/2004r with computer delete. The car is still running a 2.41 rear end. The trans is running a monster exterior lockup and an iceman racing crossmember . Due too an extra o ring on the filer tube in the trans and an ill adjusted tv cable I blew the trans and it's being removed from the car. I'm having difficultly finding any 2004r's on craigslist and in junkyards around here. But I do have a th350 with a 6" tailshaft and I've told it'l drop in without a whole lot of hassle. I'm wondering if i can make my iceman crossmember work. Would appreciate any suggestions or thoughts. Thanks!

also to note: that i do plan on rebuilding the 2004r in the fall and that is the end goal transmission for the car. but i dont want to stop driving the car. would also consider putting the th200 back in as a last resort.

I believe it will work, but if you end up buying a new x-member, let me make you an offer on the one you have.

Nevermind, I just saw your second post.

But yes, we have a thread here somewhere that a few members state they have done it and it was a direct swap.

Ive thought of getting all my bars and an Iceman xmember all powdercoated the same color (red) for years now. Always thought that would look good.

Go to the wrecking yard and hit the Cadillacs. Look for the big rwd sedan deville. Get the 2004r with the AA on the tail tag. Swap it in.
