Hi
The short answer is - pretty darn close..... the difference ends up coming down to the combination of first and second gear ratios that work best for you.... the (high end) 350's have a few more of these combos available than the 200 does... The other factor is, of course, how much experimenting you are willing or able to do.
I don't remember the exact year but it was in the last decade.
S/S was first, then Stock, then 4 speed stick shifts. (oh yeah, then clutchless in S/S)
The 3 speed deal wasn't put in to benefit the little guy with a 67 Camaro..Trust me.

I would say that if you took a 350 and put in a 2.75 low , an aluminum direct drum, and were really good with a lathe, you could come pretty close to an entry level 200 like I build.
The Pro Trans and the Coan are in a different league. As Ange said, lots of different ratios available too.
