just got my hands on a good running 401, dude at the junk yard was trying to talk me into a th400 w/ the switchpitch converter, thought sounded interesting, but i'm really hell bent to put a 4 speed in it. i realize the bellhousing and realated components are like hens teeth, are there any other ways of getting a 4 speed behind it? kits available, adaptors, i've got access to a few good 4 speeds other option is rebuilding a 400, but if the parts are approx the same as a rebuild, i'd rather stick the green into a 4 speed

Hey PBR, don't know if you saw this post earlier, but here's a link to this same question that I asked about a week ago.

I'm also interested to see if there are any other options.

Did you buy the switch-pitch in the deal...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I'd stick the money you'd save running that automatic into the shoebox because "THE LONESTAR ROUNDUP IS ONLY "FOUR" MONTHS AWAY"! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Go get that ST400. No arguments, just go do it.

I checked with transadaptors and 500, full kit to put the manual in, pops said he'd give me his rebuilt M-22, and i have all the rest of the part to do it, or 150 for the 400 and it would need a full rebuild...sounds like a horse a piece...

Mark i may need some help soon, should have the fenton soon, pops said he would power coating it for me...what a great dad! 2x1 intake should be had next week, just gotta get it all in, but it should be ready for the LSRU
Looks like i need a 3rd job to support my habit
