in my jegs book it says that is for a swap of a th200 & th700r4 to a th 350 will that still work for the th400? any idea on how short my driveshaft has to be and any prices?

 

I used the Hurst T400 kit from Jegs. ~$125. After you get the tranny installed, then measure for the correct length drive shaft. I used an old T400 Chevelle drive shaft and had it shortened and balanced ~$100 and the correct u-joints ~$50.

Well, you'll also need to wire a kick-down switch, which mounts behind the throttle arm (Summit), with ignition-switched power.

Alright, you'll also need to do something about the shifter. Great time for a B&M console MegaShifter or Hammer.

 

yeah you're right aboutthe b&m being for th350s. sad thing is i have a old box laying hear and i could see it well enough to read what it said on it. man soon as you hit 40 your eye sight starts to go. sorry for the wrong information.
