what crossmember for the 200r4?

[ndnchief]

The frame extension works on earlier Regals 81-83 I think mine is a 86 and it didnt need it all though mine came with it.......

ok i see now the early g-bodys dont have the holes,thx for reply!
how much hp are pushing with the 406,also what heads cc.

right now i have the stock x-member the wagon came with!factory this wagon had a v-6 metric trans.
i installed a short shaft th-350 with a shift and it bolted right in place!no mods! i did modify the x-member for
dual ex. works fine,notched the xmember and used a piece of c-channel!pretty stout if u asked me.
anyhow i only have the two bolt holes on the drivers side frame.from the 2 holes back its empty?
how does the frame ext. work or bolt up to nothing? :?:

Because the mount on the 2004r is in a diff location compared to the 350, the trans x member is shaped diff. The extension basically allows the 2004r to be mounted while using the same location holes. The extension is on one side of the x member and mounts to the same bolt location as did the original x member, but moves the x member back. heres a link to an ebay add....

also will this setup a bolt in deal,going from a th350 to a th200r4,meaning kepping the stock length driveshaft :?:

Okay I thought the 400 turbo, 200r4, and a 9C1 700r4(which I have in mine)are the same length and a regular 700r4 and 350 turbo were the same but using a different driveshaft.........

th350 long shaft is the same as a 700r4! th-350 tails are 6in" and 9in" short shaft being 6" and longshaft being 9"

A 9C1 700r4 is different from a from a 700r4 because the mounts are in different places.....the 9C1 700r4 will mount up just like a 400 turbo and 200r4 using the same drive shaft.....the mount is on the tailshaft piece..........

not sure what this 9C1 trans is for or from, but the post is about a 2004r trans....but thanks for the info all the same.

I am getting ready to put a 200 R4 in place of a TH350 in a 78 Malibu. The crossmember is all notched and a new exhaust system in place. My question is; has anyone out there ever just moved the mount pad to the back side of the of the crosmember? I can see that maybe the transmission pan might be close to the crossmember but maybe not. Any help?

 

[Bruce Compton]

If anyone has done this I sure would like to hear about it and maybe see a photo or two. Please!!

I could be wrong but I believe the mounting point between a th350 and a 200r4 are the same.. my wagon and gn are the same cross member..
