No its actually very much a truck transmission. Cars used the 200-4R except for full sized caprices.

That's a terrible statement. Just because you buy something to work doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't maximize its efficiancy where possible. And I know this may sound crazy, but some people buy big blocks for fun, not work. Not too many 48yr old trucks being put to real world, daily business type work these days.
