Re: Project Underfunded / next phase - LSx carb'd to LSx efi

Will do. The 200-4r was a great trans in 1st and 2nd, and cruising....but just wouldn't hold the power for a WOT 3rd gear shift. I think had I started with a Grand National 200-4r, or at least that valve body and governor from one, it would have performed better. That and I couldn't ever get it sealed (3 or 4 new rear seals and 2 new gaskets, then an aluminum trans pan upgrade with another gasket....its still leaking fluid on my floor.

I'll be glad to have a trans that's truly built for abuse...and hopefully holds its fluid too.
