Re: C20 Longhorn tranny swap

I am with some of the other guys. Rebuild the th400 short shaft. It fits your truck already with no modifications, is original to your truck, is stronger than the BOP, and you won't have what looks to be a pieced together-god knows what is in there type of truck. Sometimes we get in a mode where we think "just one more modification and I will have this licked" then you look back and you have modified everything and spent more than you should have and could have just fixed what you already own. Just sell the parts you have acquired and rebuild the Chevy trans - easy peasy.
Don't get me wrong- I am all about modification if it makes your truck better. Do you even know if the new trans works?
Look at my signature, Lots of mods going on there. Blazer was totaled and rebuilt with leftover parts and the SWB had all it's parts scavenged from the Wrecked Blazer that was built as a rock crawler back in Cali in 1998.
