Question Re: t350bpo

They are different animals. One has overdrive, one does not. The 200-4R has a lower 1st gear. Almost any transmission shop can build a stout TH350. Not that many do a good 200-4R build.

Think you really need to think your goals through, first.

Careful...go forward too far in the 80s and they are TH200C's. A far cry from the TH350.

Thumbs up Re: t350bpo

A TH350 would be almost a direct swap. Just about any transmission shop can build a decent strip TH350 trans from a BOP core. My friend "Electra" Jim uses one behind 500 HP of 455 Buick and it lives just fine.
