Complete 200-4R Overdrive Conversion Packages

Converting a TH350, TH400, Powerglide or other classic GM automatic to overdrive? Twisted Torque 200-4R conversion packages combine the transmission, torque converter, TV cable and geometry components, cooler and major installation parts needed for the swap.


Choose from Street, Pro, Punisher and Executioner packages rated from 350 HP through 850 HP.

200-4R Conversion Packages Built for the Complete Swap

A 200-4R conversion is more than installing an overdrive transmission. Correct TV cable geometry, converter selection, cooling, mounting, speedometer setup and driveline fitment all need to be addressed during the swap.

What's Included in a Twisted Torque 200-4R Conversion Package?

Package contents vary by build and application, but our 200-4R conversion packages include the transmission, application-matched torque converter, GM TV cable, Edelbrock or Holley carburetor geometry correction components when required, transmission mount, dust cover, dipstick and tube, throttle cable bracket, torque converter bolts, speedometer gear package, Hayden 1402 transmission cooler and two cans of Cooler Kleen flush.

Street, Pro and Punisher packages also include the required lock-up wiring components. The 850 HP Executioner is a non-lockup build and does not require a lock-up wiring kit.

Before Ordering a 200-4R Conversion Package

Have your vehicle year, make and model, engine combination, estimated horsepower, rear gear ratio, rear tire size, carburetor or EFI setup and intended use ready. Higher-level builds may also require vehicle weight, camshaft/RPM range and desired WOT shift point.


TV cable geometry and adjustment are critical on every 200-4R installation. The TV cable is not simply a kickdown cable and must be correctly matched and adjusted for the throttle setup.


FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do I Need to Swap From a TH350 to a 200-4R?
A TH350-to-200-4R conversion typically requires a properly matched 200-4R transmission and torque converter, TV cable and correct carburetor/throttle-body geometry, torque-converter lockup wiring, transmission mount/crossmember positioning, speedometer setup and appropriate cooler connections. Shifter linkage and other installation components may also need attention depending on the vehicle. One reason the 200-4R is popular for classic GM conversions is that some short-tail TH350 applications can retain the existing driveshaft and yoke, although every vehicle should be measured and verified before installation.
Is the 200-4R TV Cable Just a Kickdown Cable?
No — and this is one of the most important things to understand before installing a 200-4R. The TV cable is part of the transmission's hydraulic control system and affects operating pressure and shift behavior. Correct cable geometry and adjustment are critical. It should not simply be connected where a TH350 kickdown cable was attached and assumed to be correct. Incorrect TV cable geometry or adjustment can cause poor transmission operation and potentially serious transmission damage.
Do I Need to Shorten My Driveshaft for a TH350-to-200-4R Swap?
Often, no — but always measure before installation. The 200-4R is especially attractive for many classic GM swaps because common short-tail TH350 applications and the 200-4R are similar in overall length and use a compatible 27-spline output/yoke arrangement. This can allow the original driveshaft and yoke to be retained in some applications. Crossmember positioning is a separate issue and commonly needs to be moved rearward or changed. Vehicle configuration, existing transmission, driveshaft engagement and driveline angles should always be verified rather than assuming direct fitment.
Should I Choose a 200-4R or a 700R4 for My Classic GM?
It depends on the vehicle, engine, rear gearing, power level and how the car will be used. Both transmissions add automatic overdrive to a classic GM, but their dimensions, gear ratios, bellhousing compatibility and installation requirements differ. The 200-4R is especially popular in TH350 conversions because of its compact dimensions and potential to retain more of the existing driveline in certain applications. It is also attractive for Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac builds because of available multi-pattern case configurations. The better choice isn't simply “which transmission is stronger?” It's which transmission is properly built for the vehicle's horsepower, torque, weight, rear gearing and intended use.
