thanks for making this video, i just bought a 64 impala, im looking to swap the powerglide for the 200r4. hoping you can educate me. what is the purpose of the lockup switch? besides moving the crossmember back 6-7 inches, was there any other modifications required for the tranny to bolt up to the motor? i got a 327
Great stuff, I'm changing my 67 Camaro and you answered several questions. My wife wants to drive it and the whole shifter issue mismatch could be a problem. Thanks.
I'm sure once you install the 200r4 transmission in your Camero, you will see that the linkage concern is not that difficult to figure out, Keep in mind that the length of the rod in-between levers will be the same as the original. You just need to replace the lever at the transmission. Chevy nova design is close to what you got going, I did see a kit for nova 200r4 swap linkage online, and I would have run with it Good luck 👍
I ordered it from Amazon. It's actually for column shifter linkage. I made a couple of bends in it to shorten it. It comes with the lever that is mounted on the transmission. The indent on the handle is O.E. The setup is good I know what gear it is in by feel. I did my other project with the cable and I don't like it
Found it on Craigslist. LS swap shop payed 400.00 he had 2 I asked him about the other one. Sold it. If you go the same route as I did, make sure you got a transmission shop to build your transmission the way you want it.
It says column but the shifter arm is adjustable Take a second look at the one I installed I cut it as Much as I could then bent it . Works perfect. I got glass pack mufflers so rolling around in 1-2 sounds bad ass....
Super nice ! I’m putting a 200 in 79 coupe deville now …Wish me luck !!

Difference between 200r4 and 2004r
Same transmission
Where did you order that shift rod from ? I noticed it had a little bend in it did you make it like that?

Thanks for the video buddy buddy I'll order that shift rod from Amazon I'm currently doing this upgrade on my Impala
@MrRquiroz It will make it freeway friendly
Does the converter lock up in all positions on a 2004r
It will only lock up in 4th
How did you wire up your switch i got a 200 out of a 80 Pontiac Lemans im putting the motor and transmission in my 57 chevy 210
Did you use the same driveshaft and yoke
Drive shaft yoke and u-joint are all original. With the 700r4 you will need to shorten the driveshaft .
Where did you get the 200 4r? I am looking now.
Found it on Craigslist.
