CTF 200-4R question
Good Evening Everyone,
New to the forum and hopefully this post/thread is the right place. Apologies in advance if not.
Ive come across a good looking core of a 200-4R with the tag CTF. its an 87 model and if im not mistaken, from a Chevy Caprice. While not the highly sought after CZ, BR, OZ, ect at only $50 would it be a decent candidate for a rebuild and sell? A shift kit and gov upgrade would be done just to step it up a tad. If I understood a comment I found correctly, it would have the 10 vane pump and a hardend sun gear already from the factory, yes? My neighbor across the street is a retired gm transmission specialist and be my Obi Wan so to say. Ive read too that any 200-4R can be made up to be a h/p unit, but thats not my intention with this one. Do the shift and gov upgrades and then sell it. Ive come across many that just want o/d in their weekend cruiser. I have read that the ones behind v6's, diesels, and even some v8 (example OGF tags) just don't make since $ wise.
My son has left for college, so just trying to keep the "lonely nest" syndrome to a minimum , ha ha. I do have an 86 Brf grand natty i do plan on beefing up for a ratt rod project, so if i pull the trigger on the ctf, it'll be an introduction so to say. Im not trying to open a transmission shop and build 500+hp racers. Just to learn something new and build up $ for the new interior/re-paint/wing replacement my Fraulein is needing.
Appreciate any/all tips, thoughts and feedback.
Ha e a great weekend all,
Thanks-
Jh.
