no fuel plate with the VE pump.
check back through the last couple of pages on this forum, this topic was brought up.
200 hp shouldnt be a problem, but each tranny and each tranny's history are different. its all about the maintenance.

here is the thread tranny but i thought it talked more so on the power. either way, good info to get started.
its been a work horse? that being said, i am assuming you pull or haul a considerable amount of weight. the killer of the transmission is heat. get a temp gauge and monitor, especially before the mods to get a good baseline. also, get yourself a 2nd auxiliary cooler if you dont have one yet.
if you drive it like you hate it, better save your pennies for a rebuild.
