(I know this is in drivetrain, but need some replies fast!)
I'm in the process of installing my Caddy 500/TH-400 into my previously 292 I6/TH-350 '70 C/10. The trans mount from the caddy cross member doesn't look like it'll work with my truck cross member. For reference, the motor/ trans. came out of a '76 Coupe Deville. The tranny is a long tail shaft BOP TH-400. Questions: 1. Is there any difference between tranny mounts for a 350 vs. a 400? 2. Can I just unbolt my 350 mount, put it on the 400, and relocate the crossmember? 3. What tranny mount do I need to use? |

I think you will find the mount to be "universal", but you will need to relocate the crossmember. There are 3 different lenghts on the 400 turbo, & mounts are position different for each. Try this link on lenghts.... http://www.tciauto.com/tech_info/trans_dims.htm I need to rephrase that, the aftermarket mounts are slotted, & should fit either a 350 t or a 400 t. good luck,crazyL

Yup. It's something like 4 or 5 inches bolt to bolt.
That's one reason I have a Pontiac tranny in mine. |
