Metric 200 Trans

Would a metric 200 from a '76 Chevy 305 work as a decent core for a small block stock elim. application ?

Yes ,it would be fine.
I just took in an early Chevy T 200 nice working core this morning.
I can build someone a nice budget starter unit just like the one in Tibor's car...Turbo Action valve body..forward or reverse, low drag tricks, etc

$1000 plus shipping ...paid for in advance.
Let me know if someone wants it.
Call or write, text

Could I use a 200 in my BBC 396/325 65 Impala I am building? Weight would be 3800-4100 lb car. I have a TH 350 I plan on putting in the car- just wondering?

A friend put one behind a 455 Buick GS Stocker
Lasted about 10 passes, before it grenaded in the lights

That car was 3700 lbs. I was in other lane, got a flat rear tire in the lights. Not fun.

I forgot that part of the story, Mr Bender
How are you sir?

It all depends on Who builds it, I have had no- problems with Sepanek for over 12 years.. My car weights 3850 # , did have a crack housing once & that's the weakest link with those old housing ? Yes, the brace helps but if you lose a rear-end . First thing to check is Trans housing & tranny gears,
sprags ...

Good luck, go with a good tranny guy and be done with it.. Metric -200 is the way to go, do the math ? If you buy a T-350 or glide you still have to buy a lower first gear ??? The Metic 200 comes with a 275 first gear, you just saved $500 , so $1000-1200 doesn't look bad at all .... Also , 50-60 lbs lighter , what's not to like ??? Way more racer are using them and not saying anything, what does that tell you !!!!
