Anyone have an adaptor setup to hook up a 700R4 or 200R4 trans to my 170
flat motor in my 53HT??

Thanx

Be carefull how you ask this question.
There is/are more than one bell housing pattern for both of these
transmissions.  As there are for most GM trans.

You'll probably have do make your own adapter.  A bit of time
measuring...not that difficult overall.

yup the 200r4 is BOP pattern, (but some Monte's used it) and the 700r4
(4r?)is Chebbie, I'm leaning more to the 200r4, as it takes less HP to
turn than the 700, also the ratios are closer, I have a 4
.11 rearend so I'm not worried about the low first gear.

2004R      2.74      1.57      1      0.67
700R4      3.06     1.63     1     0.7

On the 200-4R...there's a BOP pattern, there's a V-8 Chevy (only)
pattern and also a 60 degree V-6 pattern.

Agreed, the 200 is smaller outside dimensions, lighter overall, less
power drag, much better gear ratio (stock).  Both of'em can be made to
hold 5 or 600 hp.  I know the 200-4R can be made to hold over 900hp.
A friend rebuilds them (the 200, 3spd version) for drag racing.
I know you're looking at an I-6...just thought I'd throw that bit of
info in!
