200-4r transmission questions/opinions

[ChadW]

I am looking at putting a 200-4r trans in my 66...Its still a very big project but am gathering up parts and pieces as i can...I was leaning towards a 700r4 but with my 3.73 rear gear and the large gearing diference in 1st and 2nd on the 700, it looks like id be better off with a 200-4r tranny...Does anyone run one of these? I have a dual bolt pattern 200-4r near me that i can pick up for $150...No clue on its history so will probably be rebuilt...Is that a decent price for a core and what are the pros/cons over a 700r4.

I will be running a mild 327 with aluminum heads and a 260h comp cam
