I need to search some junkyards and come up with another crossmember for the TH400 in my '85 Cutlass. I know some Monte SS's and '78 Regals had them. What else should I crawl under??
 
The TH-2004R wasn't available in a G-body before '83 so a '78 regal wouldn't have had one.

Pretty much ANY G-body from '83 and up could have had one. Although technically I think in '83, the only Olds to have a TH-2004R would have been the Hurst Olds.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the 700-r4 cross member was the one that worked with the TH400 trans. I thought the 200 4r was used whe you have a TH350.
Is this not the case? I am getting ready to swap my TH350 for a 200-4r and wasn't expecting to change cross members.

g-bodies never came with 700R4, use the 200R4 crossmember for a TH400. and yes, youll need a 200R4 crossmember when switching from a TH350.
 
Some Caprices came with the 200-4r as well. I have pulled mine out of a 87 SS and a Hurst Old's which i think was swapped cuz according to the tag it also came out of a 87 SS which i believed was swapped in...I know my 82 Caddy Fleetwood came with one as well, though GN's have the 200-4r as well which are probably the better units.
 
I know the grand nationals, had the best out of them... but me and a friend just got on from a late 80s caddy and was a half off sale, picked it up for $70,

the 80s Chevrolet Caprice, Olds station wagon, Cadillac Brougham can be found at the yard, prob the easiest... i have seen quite a few laying around...

if you find one in a 80s caprice with the police package, it should have the same 200-r4 that is in the grand national, the main differences between the 200-r4s are in the valve body and Governor and to upgrade a regular one to a like GN valve body could be around $500.

Look up CK Transmissions...they sell shift kits, shift improver kits, valve bodies, and other goodies to mod up a 200-4R. I got mine out of a 88 chevy caprice wagon...works fine
