Overdrive solution?

I came across this site.

Where someone took an 700r4 overdrive trans with an adapater from Wilcap

http://www.wilcap.com/mopar.html#318350

and installed a 700r4 trans in his Duster. While reading this he states that he needed to cut the torsion bar cross member in order for it to fit. This is basically the same this as Keisler OD system they offer.

Here is some info from Keisler about there OD 700r4 that was on Mopar Style.

So now it got me thinking why someone would spend the money on a Keisler system than just buying a Wilcap adapter.

Than I started thinking again and doing some research on the net about this and came across the 200 4r trans which is a compact OD trans. If the 700 r4 is hitting the torsion bar cross member may be that 200 4r may be a perfect fit (so to speak) without any cutting. But you would have to fabricate a cross member for the trans.

I know some people are a little weird about putting GM parts in a Mopar but this would be a cheaper version than Keisler system. Which your installing a GM trans anyway.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?????? Or would it work????

I know this is an old thread sorry for that, but I just wanted to say that I now own that Duster on the iwarp website. Mark is a GM tech. and knows the 700R4 like the back of his hand. He also has used the 700R4 in other projects as-well so that is the main reason he chose this trans. I've heard the 700R4's can handle up to 6 to 700hp. I wouldn't count on it but if that's true then I have plenty of growing room.
