    Turbo 350 to 400 swap

     



    Anybody know if they use the same rear spline? Rear mount locations the same? Overall length? Buddy has a pretty weak 350 and found a 400 with next to no miles and wants to swap.
    Thanks guys.

    400 is longer and uses a different yoke.

    It's not a bolt in, but in most cases it's a fairly easy swap.

    What is it in?

    I agree, except for mounting the kick down, it's electronic, not cable.

    Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
    Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.

    Different yoke, defferent length,(depending on the 350 used),usually different flex plate,and mount is usually in a different location.

    Some of the O.E.M. 350/400 vehicles had multi cross member hole locations on the frame to move back the tranny cross member and mount.

    Went from turbo 350 to a turbo 400. Frame was already drilled for both so just moved the crossmember back 6 inches to the other holes.
    If yours isn't drilled it's a very simple fix.
