California Performance Transmission can sell you whatever you need. They don't have an online catalog yet, so you'll have to call them but they're very good. Just ask GSC3.

IF you have the time and a few tools you can just measure your stock setup, do some minor calculations and fab up your own stuff, it's NOT HARD....that's what I did when doing my 700r4 setup some 8 years ago...wish I knew of the 2004r back then, but time passes, and knowledge gained....
at any rate, mod the crossmember with some steel from H despot, and get it bolted in, then welded.....
I took out the muncie/bellhousing, and the new tranny, tipped them up on the housings flat on the floor, and took a framing square and steel tape to the things, comparing offsets vertically and length, the obvious was done without much effort....

WOW ! Thanks for all the suggestions.
I can't seem to find a source for the 200R4 tranny locally. I've tried wrecking yards @ such.
BTO sells rebuilt & tested trannys, so I guess the fear factor isn't so bad then.
what TC did you use? Is it mandatory that a lockup TC be used in this swap?

I think it was due to concerns of me bringing it back - for something that (to them) wasn't their doing.
It was so frustrating that I gave up on that avenue.

I believe that their webpage is down, but I'm sure that they are available by phone...
That's where I got my transmission kit from .. It contained everything needed (except the yoke)...
It's holding up behind my 600 HP engine and slicks.. 48 passes on the tranny so far!!
