Is it someone here who know how much longer the driveshaft should be ?Is it other opiniun about this, or is it someone with bad experience, let me hear

I would switch to lower rear end gears. My 2.56 rear end gives me 65-70 mph at 2100 rpm.
Some have had success with the 200r4. The one in my 83 Olds 98 can barely handle the Olds 307. They seem to last longer if you don't use the overdrive. If you have level roads you might get away with it. Around here with our hills, that tranny wouldn't last 5000 miles behind a big Pontiac. |

Use an adapter plate and a 700r4, It's a stronger trans and will be less troublesome.
The 2004r's a time bomb waiting to happen no matter how it's built up. Mike

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
