Transmission pan

I was gonna draw up a diagram, but climb under the car. Locate the transmission. engine in front, long thing out back is the driveshaft Trans is right in the middle. If the pan is shaped like Nevada (square with one corner cut off), it's either a Th350 or a TH200c. If it's a Th200c, it should say METRIC on the pan. Oh, the pan is under the transmission.

Just got my first ever car! I've always loved G-bodies, and this is a bad *ss whip!

Has 31,*** original KMs, a new 350, and also a completely reupholstered interior with no bench seat in the front anymore!

I just straight piped the other day and it sounds freaking nuts, it'll be temporary, as I'll buy a new exhaust down the road, probably magnaflows, but I'll check out others, too.

I want to push this bad boy to at least 420ish HP. It has around 350 at the moment, but what Cams and headers would you suggest?

Also, it's the stock transmission, but I can't figure out if that's the 200-4r or not

Thanks for reading!

As far as I know GM started in 1985 installing 200R4 transmissions in the Gbody so if there is a double D on your shift indicator and the trans pan looks like number 5 then that it what you have if not match the pan shape to one of the others to figure out what you have.
