Question tranny question

This weekend I was at the junkyard with my son and saw a 1976 chevy van with a turbo hydramatic transmission option class M40. My question is would this fit in place of my turbo 400 short shaft in my 1969 c30 Longhorn
Thank you for any assistance.

Re: tranny question

not sure what a M40 option is, but if it is physically the same size then the answer is yes it will fit. is it also a 400 tranny, if it is a 350 it'll still fit if it is physically the same length, but there may be u-joint and/or kick-down linkage issues.

Re: tranny question

Humn, I too am in need of a replacement tranny for my 72 Longhorn, I hope this works for you then I will probably choose one as well.
