Default Might go turbo 400

Reviving this old thread.. The Super Hydramatic in my 63 BV is not shifting up in to 4th.. Guy wants $3500 to rebuild it. Found a complete 64 Catalina with 3 on the tree and may convert to 4 speed but since the '64 block is drilled and tapped for a block mounted starter I may use it in my '63 and go with a Turbo 400 instead. That would allow my wife to be designated driver on occasion.. So which is the easiest way to go? Long tail? Short tail? I already have the fine spline yoke.. Does the stock driveshaft have to be shortened? Cross member moved?
