Keith,
I do too, its just with my surgery,... I really don't want to pick the dang thing up to put it on a scale. That said,...Aaron, I'm about 1/2 hour south of Dayton. You'd be best to take a Saturday and come get the stuff. Ron

Any follow up on how this swap went? I have a 64 Catalina convertible with a slim jim that I'd like to swap out. Better to say, I'd like to have swapped out since I have no skills in this area.

Back in 69 when I worked at a Pontiac dealership one of the mechanics owned a 64 GP and he did the conversion at the dealership in an evening so it can't be that big of a deal. I would guess you'd need a flexplate, block mounted starter, driveshaft from a 65 up Cat, or GP, BFH for floor adjustment, and either make the 64 shifter work or a cable unit from a newer B body. I know he was quite happy with the conversion after he had it done. Having owned more than a couple cars with Supers and Slim Jims I would not even think about driving a car with one of them, when a T400 is a so much superior transmission in every department, my 2 cents. My ultimate choice would be a 4L80E but it would be a much more involved conversion than a T400 would be with more expense, but would have the OD advantage.

Does a TH350 buy you any more room in a Cat/GP? Still a hell for stout trans, can be built easily to power levels much greater than a stocker 389/421, might not need all the floor pan beating that a TH400 would.
