350-or 400 Transmission

[treny]

ok I know , I got the pan pics and it looks like a 350 .In the drivers side it has 3 lumps like an egg cut from end to end and 3 halves were embedded in the side of the trannie 1 above the others 3 in a row...I have another one here and it doesnt have them on it.. plus it is all one piece tailshaft is part of the case ,no tailshaft..does it matter if you use a torque convertor from a 700R4 or a 350 .I put one on and tried it and the truck worked anyway ,They all look the same to me haha..Is there anyway to tell which is which..Bruce

I didn't really understand what you were asking

Does it look like #3 or #4?

[dumbucket1]

you shouldnt mix and match torque convertors

What the lumps on the side meant, if  and I have 6Torque converters here and 4 are off 700r4's and 2 are off the 350s ,cant tell the difference between the torque convertors .Will either one work with the 350 transmission.. Thats about it , i fI cant figure which is which Ill keep tryin them till one doesnt work and then  back to the last one It must be the 350 one , this could take all summer haha Bruce

What the lumps on the side meant what? 

The TH350 is a non lockup unit. The 700R4 has a lockup piston clutch inside the torque converter.

ok I have 6 torque converters , 2 are off th350s and 4 are off 700r4s , I looked at them foir 2 hrs and happenned o notice there are 2 differences . the 2 th350s is installed with 3 nuts and bolts , the 700r4s are installed with the bolts screw right into the torque converters.. the other differenceis where the seams are th350 has one near the outside 1 , that section goes over the top and down the back the 700r4s have a raised section too but then it goes from the raised portion to the back its a longer run from the seam....Bruce pretty hard to see it unless you have the 2 together..Thanks Bruce..... Ill start puttin the motor in now Yahoo!!

yea, treny, your posts are more than mildly confusing...i had to read that quite a few times just to take it all in.  a period or a comma goes a long way...
