My other street car runs 9.60's on nitrous and the trans has been in the car for 8 years with no freshen. That see's 8500 to 9000 rpm (377 sbc) every gear change. Does anyone know if a 350th converter will work in a 200 Metric?

A 350 (as well as a 400) uses a different pump drive hub, a different stator shaft spline, and a different input shaft spline from the 200 Metric. Some of the 200 builders modify the pump and forward input drum in the 200 to match the 350. If I were buying a 200, I would certainly want it done that way.
