700r4 to th400 swap..(possible or not)

[overthepond]

Hey guys..!

I just picked up a 84'Suburban 2wd with the 350 and a fried 700r4.
I also have a known to be ok th400 in the shed that i want to use to replace the fried tranny.
What am i up against in the swap,basically any info on what will or wont fit,what i'll need and if its worth the hassle and trouble.
Many thanks in advance..

Check the length of the transmissions and compare.  You may need a different/altered drive shaft.  TH400 use an electric kick down as far as I can remember.  Cross member will need to be moved but holes should be in the frame for the new position.  If it is a true TH400 the rear output is different and requires a different yoke.  They made a TH375 that looks just like a 400 but the rear output is the same as the TH350/700R4.  I am sure there are other considerations and others will chime in.
