Re: Adding overdrive to a TH350?

....or try getting a 200-4r (built up of course). The 200-4r is the same length as a turbo350, has a different ratio for 1st gear(and 2nd?) for a better 1-2 shift w/o the bog, and has a slightly lower (.67) overdrive. I think (not sure) that even the spline count is the same...meaning you can use your old driveshaft. I think the only real change other then the TV cable, is the tail mounting location, meaning slight changes to your tranny crossmember. I'm no expert so I could be off on some of these details.
