Mine's forward...P-R-N-3-2-1

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

To make that work, you need a modified forward input drum, to accept that shaft, and a modified pump, to accept the stator shaft. Both the stator shaft and the input shaft are different.

If you were in the salvage yard looking for a 200 to be modified for racing. Is one better than another or are they all the same? If there is a difference whats the best models to look for it in?

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

I suppose a V8 car, if it has the original transmission, might be better. It is highly unlikely to find an original Metric 200 in the car it came in at this point, production ceased a long time ago. Maybe a Malibu, if you happened to find an old 305 V8 car with low miles in great shape.

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

look at 76-87 v6 G bodys /some of the V8 cars had them too--some 76-about 82 Fbodys maybe an Olds/Impala from the same era-- they are out there you just hafta find an older car--- maybe even buy the whole car if you can find a clunker "real cheap" -- even some Isuzu cars had them ---overall usually found in low HP lighter weight vehicles

Thanks guys. I have access to a salvage yard that went out of business in the early 90's. Its like walking through the jungle now but there are a ton of cars there. Next time I am down that way I will see what I can find.

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

Thanks Alan. I responded to your email to Oliver Connecting Rods about torque specs for our bolts. Let me know if you guys need anything.

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

Yeah Bobby, I sent a reply, not sure if you got it. Thanks.

Re: Metric 200 Trans
 

not sure whats in that yard but look at full size olds /Pontiac/buick with V6 engines lotsa them had 200's some of the V8's did too--Camaro/Fbird from 77-to maybe 81-2 ---lotsa Gbody V6 from about 77-80-81--- watch the bellhousing bolt patterns I assume you want a Chevy they made lotsa them BOP bolt pattern !!!!! also S-10S-15 2 wheel driv0 vehicles but they mostly used the 60* V6 smaller bolt pattern and bellhousings too kinda looks like a standard Chevy one--all in all its gonna be hit or miss some cars may of had em others got something else you will just have to look--FED387

Never got it. We've been having issues with our email during our network change over.
