    Th400 Diesel Conversion Vac Modulator Help

    Ok so does the trans being hooked to the vacuum pump determine when it will shift? Also about the tq converter will it work on my 6.2? And I'll definaty start a thread, Mabye I can get opions while I'm in the process of the swap. I'm planning on starting next weekend!!! Hopefully

    Semi-complete Vortec swap

    If I'm not mistaken vortec heads are reverse flow (correct me if I'm wrong, that may just be on the tbi engines) so why would you want to use the 79 water pump?

    Th400 Diesel Conversion Vac Modulator Help

    Ok, My knowledge of automatic trans's and diesels is low and I'm putting a 6.2 in my new truck which currently has a 350 gasser and th400, so what issues will I run into during the swap? Like anything with the tq converter, fuel lines, shift points in the trans, ect? (I'm really not kidding when...

    Th400 to 700r4 ????

    Your better off getting a pedal assy, it's better just to do it right Asa far as the swap itself, it's really easy, from ripping everything out to driving it out of my garage, I had about 6-7 hours. Of course I had all the parts there. The nicest part was putting in the trans, it's like 80lbs...

    Th400 to 700r4 ????

    Im not familliar with the np241 but It should bolt up if your 241 is a round pattern and a 32 spline output. NV3500s are cheap (my whole conversion cost me 150 bucks) they're a great road trans cuz the ratios are close. Mines holding up well so far and i beat the pis out of it, I do burnout's at...

    Rear end conversion

    Here's the deal I got a 14 bolt semi float rear with 4.10, 3.08s would be nicer. So my question is, can you put the 8lug axles in the 10 bolt rearend if you change the spider gears and backing plates on the axle tubes? I don't see why it wouldn't work but then again my knowledge of rear diffs is...

    6.2 mpg

    K so far I'm liking what I hear. But I'm definitely gonna have to stay outta the turbo, can't run much boost on a 6.2 anyhow. But so far guys thanks for the input

    Th400 to 700r4 ????

    Well the nv3500, nv4500(including bell and tcase adapter) and th400 are all extremely close in legnth if not the same so driveshafts should not be affected

    Th400 to 700r4 ????

    350 is internally balanced and 454 is external balanced. So the flywheels are not interchangable (learned from expirence) As far as the nv4500 swap its easy(if your burb is a 4x4) the nv4500 has a 32 spline output (same as you th400) and is a direct fit to a 208 tcase. You can use your...

    6.2 mpg

    I even thought about throwing a 3.08 10 bolt underneath, but my only concern is how well will that pull hills? I live in the Appalachian mts.

    6.2 mpg

    What kinda mileage can I expect from a 6.2 turbo diesel? I got 4.10 rears and th400 trans, 235/85/16 tires. I don't drive my autos hard just my stick shifts, I seen. Guys claim 23 whith the same setup and others claim 13. Just wanna know the reality. Cousin claimed he was getting 22 highway...

    Th400 to 700r4 ????

    Personally I never had a good expirence with a 700r4, a good swap (if your budget allowed it) would be a NV4500. Just my 2¢
