Which is the better trans for my 68 LWB? what are some pros and cons of each?

700 will be better. 200's came in the Grand prix and Regals etc, way lighter cars.

^ what he said. Although the 200 can be built very strong (up to 1000hp) and is reliable. The nice thing with a 200R4, it will fit in your truck with a lot less hassle, it should bolt right up, the only major thing is you have to move the tranny cross member back 6.5". You can also get a 200R4 that can handle 400hp for about $1600.

in reality either should b built to use for reliability and long use . at about the same price ,the 2004R has nicer gear numbers and works real well in these trucks// the 200 is direct bolt in replacement for the 350 eith a 6"tail that was installed in these trucks

i used a 200 from www.fbperformance.com

Ditto.
The 200 is what I am putting in mine.
Also, they put the 200 in the 9 sec. Grand Nationals
They also put them in the Caddies the weigh equal to or more than our trucks.

I would say to go with the 200R4. I can't wait for my th350 to blow up and give me a reason to get one, the extra gear would be very nice.

I had a stock TH400 in my 67 C-10.
Put in GM ZZ383/425HP Motor in.
