You would need to do a LOT of adapting to get motor mounts and crossmembers on your truck to bolt up to the late model 6 cylinder.
In my decidedly biased opinion, a 200R4 is a terrible choice for an overdrive transmission. It's got all the bad features of the 200 metric trans, plus a Mickey Mouse variable-displacement vane pump, and a flimsy overdrive section. It would be hard to run fast enough to give me one, and I've got one crippled leg! The 700R4/4L60 is a much better choice. Jerry
