putting a th 400 in my truck
I have a 70 2wd with a 350 and a th 350. What will I have to do to put a the 400 in? Something with the kickdown or something. And is it longer then the th 350?

Re: putting a th 400 in my truck
I just looked and I have the 9 in tail housing and a normal slip yoke design. Do you think I could run a one peice driveshaft with this trans in my long bed. I wont go past 61" for a drive shaft.

Re: putting a th 400 in my truck
IIRC the Th400 kickdown is electric and for 67-70 the switch is located near the carb while on 71 up it is under the gas pedal.

Re: putting a th 400 in my truck
I plan to make some power so I am going with the th400. I know 350's can take it but hey I allready have the 400.
Its a long bed, with the 9 in tail shaft. About how long would that driveshaft be?

Re: putting a th 400 in my truck
Measure the driveshaft you have now, add 2 5/16" and thats how long it will be. You will have to measure yoke to yoke. Measure from the rear of your tranny yoke to the yoke on the rear end.
