    yup, 200's are way different from anything else. they're just a plate w/o ring gear. in a 200, the ring gear is actually on the torque converter.

    you'll need a 302 specific flywheel, either 157 or 164 tooth, and either 28 oz. or 50 oz. balance

    So I am guessing that for my 302 swap I will need to find a torque converter also?
