i like to re-use as much as i can when restoring a car, even though i may make mods. this helps me keep things simple....i've learned that every change has a ripple effect. my goal is always a solid driver that appears original to non-expert pontiac people.
my trans shop has rebuilt TH350's for me before and they do fine for our style of moderate street driving.
by using original TH350 and original column, both with mods, i am hoping to keep on track with my restoration.
i saw a youtube video where a guy converted a column shift column to a floor shift car for a chevelle. not to bad a process and looked great when completed. planning on trying the same

thanks North, i am planning on sticking with TH350 for simplicity as you point out, even though TH400 is stronger.
Love your collection of 69's!
