Buying Used 200R4 What U Guys Think

[KyleTtype]

New to the site, and have a few questions for you. Wondering what you guys think about buying a used 200 R4 out of an 87 Grand National? It was bought from ANS 4 years ago. ANS is Turbo shop out of Chicago IL. All they deal with is Gns, Typhoons, and Cyclones.
The trans has a 12in 3200 RPM stall torque converter, with additional clutches, hardened front drum and stator shaft. The guy says he had it in his car that was at 522 HP, he was told the trans is capable of 700 HP. He says the trans has about 4000 miles on it. The reason he is selling it is because he developed a rod nock, and he’s in the middle of buying a house and doesn’t have the $ to put back into the motor, (so he is parting out the car.) He says he’ll guarantee the trans works.
He says he has to get 800.00 for it. I would only have to drive about 45 mins to get it. Let me know what you guys think and if there is any thing I should look for or ask him before I buy it. Thanks for the info.

If tranny is good it is worth the $'s. 12" convertors only stall around 3000 max I think. If he will guarantee it works and refund if doesn't go for it.

sound like a good deal if it is all he says it is. check on the tag to see if it is a BRF code tranny and pull the pan to see if there is a pink BR ink mark on the vb and two pressure switches mounted on the vb, also look at how clean or black it is in the pan. Good Luck.
