WTB TH400 / 700R4 for sale - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67_SS396 · 02-22-2004, 10:06 PM

I am looking for a TH400 for my '67, prefer local or close to DFW with in reason.

I had an '87 model 700R4 built close to 12 months ago for the same truck. However, since I bought the '70, the '67 will now only be a weekend cruiser/racer and don't want to take a chance with trashing the 700. I have $1000+/- in the tranny and was built by a reputable local shop. I have all the paper work from when it was built along with extra govenor springs. The Bowtie Overdrives TV Made EZ kit goes with the tranny and a 2200 stall. The tranny has less than 1000 miles on it. My loss is your gain, I'd like to get $500 for the whole package but am willing to deal, no shipping. However, I will help deliver with in a reasonable distance from the DFW area. I would consider working out a trade for a TH-400. No warranty on the transmission.

Thanks,

Ryan

I'm interested but I think my truck has a TH-350

Maybe we can still work something out... What all is involved in switching over to a 700r4 do I just need a different driveshaft?
Thanks

Ryan, I believe I've got a short tailshaft 400 sitting in a corner of the garage. I got it from a guy I work with in a pkg deal & was told it was a working trans when pulled from the project vehicle but I can't be 100% as I never actually had it in one of my trucks.

I possibly even have the correct yoke that came w/it. Sound like what your after? What kind of deal would this be worth to you?

I really want a 400, so that's the plan I'm going to stick with. I want to build it once and be done.

First Gen, it's a pretty straight forward swap. Move the tranny crossmember back a couple inches, shorten/balance the driveshaft and bolt it up. I have the tranny setup for a toggle switch lockup, so that's real easy. With the Bowtie Overdrive setup, the TV cable is a no brainer to set up. I really like the design of that kit.

Scoti, that's exactly what I'm looking for. If you don't mind, PM me your number and we'll chat.

You have PM..... good night.

FirstGen · 02-23-2004, 02:40 AM

Sounds good I'm real interested... If Scoti doesn't take it off your hands talk to me.
Later

Thanks Ryan. I hope to get together again & maybe enjoy some racing.

Thank you for the 400 Scot! I'll definately give you a shout when we head out to the track. It shouldn't be long now.
