Default What bolt holes?

I am switching from 4 speed to auto, a TH400 to be exact, what bolt holes for the tranny crossmember in the frame? Is the driveshaft the same length. I know that the yoke is different. Thanks. The engine is not ready yet, so I am trying to do as mutch as possible while it is warm.

Cool I believe...

the crossmember slides back to the rear set of holes. The driveshaft lengths differ as do the yokes. Later ['71+] four speed yokes are the same as 400TH. The '69 Muncie yokes are the same as a 350TH. Good luck. Ron

Are you in need of anything else for your conversion? The reason I ask is that I'm doing the opposite conversion and have almost all of my AT parts still from my 69 goat.

Driveshaft on TH400 is shorter than 4 speed...(don't have exact measurements)...

No, I had to sell all the 4 speed to buy all the auto stuff.

I think Ron is right. That is the way it is on my car.

Hard to say without opening it up, but I believe the tranny is original to the car. The odometer reads 37k. The way the rest of the car was when I got it, I'm assuming there's a 1 in front of that figure in reality. I bought the car as a semi-running project car, so I've never driven it to know what condition the tranny is in.

The engine was swapped out at some point, so I have no idea what the converter is. I'm assuming a worn out stock variety.

I also have the rest of the goodies: (pedals, tranny cooler, a very good original black console (no lid), a ralley shifter w/knob, drive shaft).

I've no idea what a used TH-400 goes for.

I'm doing the opposite conversion as well and will be looking to get rid of the following if you're interested in an OD tranny.

7004R with a performance rebuild, 5000 miles since rebuild
B&M Racing Holeshot 2400 converter
Pontiac adapter plate
TCI flexplate
Summit deep alum tranny oil pan
Driveshaft

Use the last bolt hole in the rear. There will be 2 unused bolt holes in the center and the next bolt hole will be for the front bolt.
