A 2004R wont swap to a standard LUV engine, if you have swapped to a more common GM engine then it might be applicable.

im going to convert the luv to a v8 .im going to put in a chevy 355 with the 200 4r transmission but i researched that the 200 4r has the mounting holes 6.5 inches more back than the 700r4 0r 350 I just wanted to know if that is not going to be that bad of a problem?

Both will work. Your long term plans might make the difference.

gear ratios for the 200r4 are more appealing if you are just doing normal driving.

ratios are

1st: 2.74
2nd: 1.57
3rd: 1.00
4th: .67
