Question Turbo???

One quick question are the dimension for the turbo 350 identical to those of the turbo 400? Not exact dimension but in reference to length of the transmission body. Please just one question all I need is one answer really.

Re: Turbo???

the case length on both are not the same, th400 being roughly 3" longer. Overall length depends on the length of the tailhousing, so one could be longer than the other.

In the sense of your project, not only is the TH400 longer, the output shaft is different also and will not mate to a TH350 version transfercase.

Re: Turbo???

No problem. You can go look for one, just make sure it has a transfercase attached to it.

Re: Turbo???

But if it had a transfer case it wouldn't fit the low hump. Would it???

Re: Turbo???

If you are having problems with the transmission t-case hitting the body there is no way anything will go under there without hitting if it has a t-case attached.
