Yep, their wharehouse, or at least one of them, is located across Charlotte from where I'm at. I've run down there during lunch before to pick up parts. Thanks again!

Thanks Look Quick. That is actually one of the places that I have purchased parts from before. Good service and some really nice prices.

A freind of mine that doesn't live too far from me has an F-body salvage yard. Sort of. He has a bunch of 3rd gen F-bodies that he parts out, and if the transmission is no good, then noone will buy it from him. He doesn't rebuild his own transmissions, and he knows that I do rebuild...

If you are on a serious budget, why not just build your own? These guys on here have some real good links to resources that can really help you out. If you can build an engine, you can build an automatic transmission. They aren't that hard. Plus, you will save yourself some serious money. I...

Maybe they cost about the same for a shop to build. From what I have read on the 200-4R and from what I have read on the 700R4, it seems they can both be built to handle about the same amount of power, and that the 700R4 requires less modification to have a more reliable overdrive clutch...

Thanks for the information Hacksaw, I really appreciate that. I had found a few pages that the last link has links to, but that should really come in handy. There is a lot to do to these transmissions to make them last from what I'm reading, and from the looks of the parts, it is pretty...

Thanks Brian. Is there any identifying features on the casing, or are the letters stamped only on the valve body? Also, one more question, did the 200-4R come with two different looking pans? I saw a couple Caddys that I thought had 200-4Rs in them, and the pan appeared to be the same shape...

I came across a junk yard recently that has a ton of cars in there with 200-4R transmissions. Unfortunately, no Turbo Regals or Grand Nationals, 442s, or Monte Carlo SS's that I've seen yet. Probably going back this weekend to look around some more. There are plenty of Buick Regals, Olds 88s...

Just wanted to invite anyone who would like to come and hang out, my car club is sponsoring a cruise in every Thursday night starting Nov. 11th at the Hooters in Rock Hill, SC. Everyone is welcome. It will start at 6pm, and go until 9pm or whenever. It will be held every Thursday, except if...

Just wanted to invite anyone in the Charlotte, NC, Rock Hill, SC area to come out on Saturday Oct. 23rd for a Poker Run. It will begin at Mr. B's Custom Speed Shop in Rock Hill, SC and end at Bruster's Ice Cream in Indian Trail, NC. For all the good details, you can see the flier for the Poker...

Yep, wife is on the home computer from the time she gets home from work until the time we go to bed. So any posting or reading I do is usually at work. My wife builds websites on the side to earn a little extra money, and to get us free race tickets.

Had a Honda Civic with a big muffler and wing try to beat me at a light one day when I lived in VA Beach. He jumped at the light, so I nailed it, and had two friends with me. Beat him by about 2 car lengths, or should I say zip codes. I was in my 96 Suburban. Had a guy in a riced out late...

trbochV6, Too bad you aren't coming to Charlotte a little sooner. This weekend is the Charlotte Fall Auto Fair at Lowes Motor speedway. When you get down this way, look me up. I live in Rock Hill, SC, just south of Charlotte. My wife and I started a car club called Piedmont Performance GM...

I'd like to, but I have already told my wife that when she gets done with her truck, then she can get her a drit track car next, and we will build it to go drit track racing.

Said I liked the cars, and can respect them, wouldn't mind owning one, but I love my birds. The 87 IROC is the wife's daily driver. The 90 Formula 350 is a car that I just fell in love with, and it is one that won't be going anywhere. The 78 TA is a car that I have always wanted and now I...
