Can the same tailshaft be used if you change the front yoke?
How about the xmember ?

Block redrilled to Turbo Pattern
Slip Yoke
Shorter Tailshaft
X-member
Trans Mount
Converter
It will probably cost around $250 to get the block redrilled as some of the Trimatic holes need to be filled first and the dowells need to be relocated and changed to 1/2". You will need a block with a rope rear seal as the neoprene seal blocks don't have enough meat around the dowells.
The Turbo 400 is still a 3 speed with no overdrive so this conversion would be for strength only. The swap to a Turbo 350 is easier as it uses the same tailshaft and yoke but you still need the block redrilled.

tranny info
Also you will need a cross over uni for the turbo 400 yoke. Unless your are very lucky to find the early HJ t400 yoke.
I did not shorten my tailshaft when i went from trimatic to turbo 400

I was told that the m20/trimatic slip yoke will fit a th350/th700 but not a th400 as it has a much larger output shaft.How do you tell the difference between a 350 and 400 ?

If your serrious I could dig through all my shit and take some pics of exactly what I mean. What I had done has no chance of breaking and is a great mod as long as you don't want to keep changing converters as it not interchangable.
