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

not sure whats in that yard but look at full size olds /Pontiac/buick with V6 engines lotsa them had 200's some of the V8's did too--Camaro/Fbird from 77-to maybe 81-2 ---lotsa Gbody V6 from about 77-80-81--- watch the bellhousing bolt patterns I assume you want a Chevy they made lotsa them BOP bolt pattern !!!!! also S-10S-15 2 wheel driv0 vehicles but they mostly used the 60* V6 smaller bolt pattern and bellhousings too kinda looks like a standard Chevy one--all in all its gonna be hit or miss some cars may of had em others got something else you will just have to look--FED387

Turbo Action makes a forward shift manual valve body.

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?
