Putting in a 2004r won't take much more to put in than the thm350. You will need a 2004r cross member, 2004r dipstick, TV cable (not sure if the 200C uses the same one), shifter linkage (column shift). It may cost a little more but this would be a major improvement over the 200c and allow you to use a shorter gear (numerically higher) for better off the line performance and with the OD gear, you can still cruise on the highway at the original RPMs you had with the 200c. It's a win/win with the 2004r, you can't go wrong with it.

FYI, my 60 foot times at the drag strip are an appalling 3 seconds. Yes, you read that correctly. Horrible gearing.

I replaced the 200C in my Cutlass with a 2004R. The TV cable and shift linkage do not need to be changed. You can even reuse the same torque converter. Crossmember and filler tube are required as mentioned. Now to ditch the 2.41 gears...

How big is a stock THM200's torque converter, and how loose/tight?
