The black 202 is the same block as a red 202 so itll fit into the HR existing engine mount points just fine. The trimatic will bolt up to the black 202 just fine too. The gearbox crossmember will need to be modified, the speedo cable will need to be cha |

The 202 will fit straight into an HR, the mounting position is the same. Use HR rubber mounts. For the rear mounts use HR Powerglide stuff, likewise use an HR Powerglide tailshaft. You will have to fit the early (short) water pump, otherwise it will hit t |

Be also aware that most later trimatics were left hand shift so may not connect standard HR shifters, but if youre using a B&M that wont matter.
