Re: TH400 Swap - Whats needed?
Plus to be honest with you I would do a th350. you can build them to handle more power than you will throw at it. Cheaper. Plus you don't have to change a whole lot. Just my opinion. Advance adapters maked the parts to connect the transfer case to the trans. Pm me if you want those details to. I am at work right now and they are on my computer at home.

looking at gearvendors site you could prolly do a 4l80e for the same cost as built th 400 and the gear vendors they aint cheap

Re: TH400 Swap - Whats needed?
yup he's been running a th400 for awhile without issues but not sure on the gearing. He did swap the ring/pinion sets though

Gear Vendors is add on unit to the back of the transmission. I don't know if they even have transfer case adapter but the transmission length is going to be pretty long with one.

A 4l80e is a TH400 inside, just with an extra gear and some electronics doing the shifting.
So they should take about the same build to hold the same amount of power.
With that said there are ways to do an 80e cheaper, won't be off the shelf complete kit shows up in 1 box ready to install but there are ways.
$100 ECM
$400 shaft/adaptor (i posted drawings of these)
$300 tranny core
$300 rebuild kit
$250 driveshafts (probably need to do them with th400 also)
$750 convertor
just over 2 there. Granted a th400 will be cheaper and a fair option for some.

I thought we had a discussion here awhile back and decided that the 4l80e wasn't an electronic th400, but a totally different beast?? hmmmmm

Re: TH400 Swap - Whats needed?
You could always do a full manual 80 with no electronis. But from my understanding, it will bang real hard at every time YOU shift it. But it may be option..... Also look into a full 700 biuld. Might not be that bad. Scott from D T post a "kit" awhile back for a 700 that sounded pretty good. :2cents:
