Quick work! Do you have a plan for the six? If it is a runner or an easy rebuild I
m sure someone would want it. I would if I was close. Do you know if it is a 230 or 250? It has the HEI distributer good for more rpm that it engine would ever do. It looks like it has the integral head where the intake is part of the head and not a separate manifold. That is not good but the other heads fit.

Sixball, is there anything off of this 250 that you need or want before I scrap it?
Rattiac, I'm assuming you are too far away to take the TH 200R4, but if you want it, it's yours.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

If it's B.O.P. bolt pattern  ?
I wonder what shipping would cost.

The trans. is a Chevy bolt pattern for sure.

Chopper Thanks! I don't need any of the engine stuff. If you were closer I'd take it all anyway just to complete one I have sitting here without accessories.
The trans is worth something especially if it has any of these codes: BQ, OZ, CZF, KZF or BRF These were the special strong ones. Some of those would have the other bolt pattern. Shipping should not be too bad it weighs a little over 120 pounds, one of it's good points. It the same length as a 350 (have to move cross member back a bit because the mount is to the rear) It can be built to be stronger than 700R4. These are sought after by drag racers. My use would be for my flatbed but since I have 4x4 dreams for that the 200R4 won't work. Someone with a 350 or power glide should snag this! The gas savings from the OD would make it worth while. You could go to a deeper rear gear be faster in the 1/4 and still have good highway speed. Don't scrap it someone will fall in love with it.

I would love to have it, but i have a 700r4 for back up already

Last of the wrinkles were ironed out yesterday.  Buttoned it up with a new set of  "super soft" rubbers. For maximum pleasure. 😉

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Chopper, Would you be willing to strap  the 200R4 to a pallet & ship it? I'll pay you to do it and of course pay for material & shipping. :)

Never mind. I really don't need more stuff I might use someday. Way better for EDNY to use it now. My friend has one of those behind a 390 Cadillac in is Fiat Topolino.

Nice work Rattiac! I've said it before, I wish you were a little closer, my Mustang could use a new top.
OK, Sixball. Ed, message sent.

Chopper maybe Rattiac would like to take a vacation on the east coast.  He could do the top on your Mustang then head up to New Hampshire and do the top on my 33  ;)

Rattiac, great job on that Pontiac top as usual. 👍

Rattiac

Thanks guys.  Just another day at work.  Went from that to a nasty dirty carpet and leather kit to making a carpet pad for a Hearst.

Did work on some of my stuff. The Cherokee heater was barley pushing hot air out.  Did a reverse flush on the heater core.  Seemed to help. 
Dakota received some LED fog lights and mounted those.  Pontiac needs to be started. 
Just realized all my vehicles have Indian names.  😎
Back to work Monday on the 8.1ltr  Tahoe.
