Is this a good trans to buy

[Hawk83man]

Thinking about buying this trans I don't know if it will work with my 5.3 will it bolt up to LS.5.3

Looks like a 200-4R OG code from an '83 442, H/O.

Ok cool. I don't know much about this trans That's what that blue tag is / so will it bolt up to a 5.3 ls motor

I'm thinking the trans will bolt up. Someone else will have to interject here.
Looks like a good score. It has the better governor and valve body in it like the Monte SS, or GN/ T-Type trans.
Was this out of a running, driving car?

Yes It was out a running car It's still on the 307 motor thanks for the feedback/ good some body knows about this trans.

I'm not sure it will bolt straight up without an adapter. The good thing about a 200-4R is that it is dual pattern for both Chevy and B.O.P. engines. I never got far into studying LS swaps but I think an older Chevy bolt pattern will connect to an LS with minor changes. Read this:

You'll need to space the flywheel 0.40 inches back using a crank spacer or a special flywheel. I they did a segment on this recently on "Detroit Muscle" on Spike TV. The biggest problem will be connecting the TV cable. I you don't have the geometry exact you will burn up the trans. TCI makes a constant pressure valve body that is supposed to prevent it if you don't have it right, but they run around $300 or so. You can't use a drive by wire throttle body, you will have to use a cable driven one. I believe there are a couple of companies that make the mounting brackets and bell crank adapter.

You'll need a spacer for the converter. If you're going to put power behind that 5.3 do some upgrades yo the trans. Plus you'll need a tv cable corrector that will go with your throttle body setup.

That's not a performance trans, it came out of a regular cutlass. 83-84 Hurst Olds had OZ and 85 442 had OZ performance trans. WOT shift points on that OG trans shifts out of first gear about 3800 rpm. It can be built to shift like an OZ.
