If you have a 200-R4 trans now it will bolt up. You also need to make sure the 400 trans is a short tail.

You will need to extend the frame, and move the stock xmember back.

OR
if you want to be ghetto about it, a 73-77 A body x member will ride inside the C channel part of the frame. You could drill some holes and put some bolts in that way, but it won't be as strong. Good enough for a daily driver, but if you're going to race it, it will most likely fail tech.
