Yes, Arnett did ours as well. I think he can do one without any trick internals for around $1500 or so...without convertor of course.

Give us a call sometime. 270-338-6325 Price range varies depending on what you want but a 200 can be done very reasonably.

Is it possible to have a 350 input shaft in a 200 trans?

Call Thomas Arnett. He does all my stuff (200's), they work great and last, and we're not easy on them. Plus he's a good guy.

That's a fact Jack, Arnett builds a great 200 metric, I tried to break one for years and couldn't do it, over 300 passes.Dale H

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?

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.
