I spent quite a bit of time researching the 2004R as an option to fit to AMC V8.
The link below has a good review in the forums I read. One advantage is that you can order it with an AMC JW Ultrabell. Flex plate and converter to suit also available. |

I have a 700r4 in my AMX. Like the OD but first gear is too steep, too much of a drop to second, I think the 200r4 is a better option. Had an Art Carr 200 in another car it was great. If I ever have enough money for a new tranny that's the way I would go

I believe the 700R4 is a common issue transmission behind the AMC V8 WITH AN ADAPTER from the factory on most late 70's Jeeps. Still haven't found any in the yards but there's quite a few people on Facebook selling drivetrains like that and they claim it's factory.

Nope.
700R4 didn't exist in the 1970's, at least not in PRODUCTION vehicles of ANY manufacturer. |

I had a 77 360 Jeep Wagoneer and it had the adapter to a TH400.
I don't remember if it was Chev or BOP. Edited by vinny - Oct/16/2017 at 10:56am |

The only posts I see that bother to mention it say it's BOP. The AMC V8 is already a huge anachronism along with the weird combinations it had through the 70's so I have no idea what's going on with that 700R4 combo. Do people seriously favor this thing?

After I was corrected, the proper case is 65 to 66 Buick Nail head, without the switch pitch parts. |

Back in the 80s th400r4 was the go to for street performance cars. You didn't need to drop in a 3.55 rear gear, but if you had one, it did not hurt. To me is a matter of availability and cost. You can rebuild either for your use, and be dependable. One will have a lesser low gear over the other, but it's not that much of an issue, until you get down to gearing and shift points. |

Two companies make adopter for the 700R4/200R4 transmission to AMC conversion. Advanced adopters and Novak. Of the two Novak has a research site and a more complete kit as they include a new flex plate. The Novak kit is the better one in my opinion. You no going to be able to go to a junk yard AND find parts for this conversion. It all $$$$. LRDaum
