Hey all. I'm looking into putting a 200 4R behind my 261 which will be going in the 54 3100. Have been looking online at rebuilders such as Bowtie and Monster. Just wondering if anyone can recommend one of these or have any comments. As always your input is greatly appreciated.

Find a local transmission builder with a good reputation and a long time in business. In case of a warranty concern, it's a lot better to deal face to face.

Both those companies know their stuff. But don't overlook a local performance transmission shop. That'll save you shipping $$ and give you a local person to talk with.

Why not rebuild it yourself? You can get an ATSG service manual and a rebuild kit and go to town. A complete rebuild kit and a shift kit package will run you less than $200. I'm not familiar with the 200 4r, but the only specialized tools required on most automatics is a set of snap ring pliers.
