Thanks Wrench, that'll save me some cash.

Went to the junk yard this morning, all I could find was a dozen or so 'RAPED' TH350s. You know, the pan removed and the innards all over the place.

I believe you're right Wrench. The TH400 is overkill for a small block daily driver. It's mostly used on pick-ups for heavy hauling like large boats and travel trailers. I read a thread on a different forum that the TH400 can rob you of horsepower.

The guy I got the tranny from went with me to help me pick out a good TH350. He kept harping about how I was making a big mistake by not using the TH400, that the TH350 couldn't handle the 327 Chevy engine. The clincher was when he announced that he was getting poor performance from his DIESEL engine, and he was going to upgrade his carb to a Holly 600, and a HEI distibutor.

I pulled over at a Convienence store, gave him a dollar, and told him to go buy me a newspaper. As soon as the car door closed, I took off like a 'bat out of hell', leaving him and the dollar on the curb.

Lesson learned!
