Not gonna put the original tranny back in but will keep it for later. Summit is making a beefed up TH350 that will handle up to 450HP. So question is, beefed up TH350 (which fits right in) or TH400?
2nd question is......... who's keeping in mind it will simply be a mean street machine with low RPM stall and not on the drag strip.

If it ain't a 4 speed, it ain't shit!
If you need help learning to drive a stick, ask your grandmother........

I agree, nothing beats a M-22 whine, but I've had both, and a modified auto comes in a close 2nd.
If I were to buy a 'new' trans from Summit for a '65 400, I'd opt for a 200r4 OD w/ a 2500 stall and
a 'lock-up' converter - remote switch.
It'll come out hard, and not slip on the hwgy, w/OD = decent mileage.
200's have a dual bolt pattern that fit BOP and Chevy, so it'd be a easy re-sell down the road, too.
I believe the 1st 3 gear ratios are the same as a 350, not like the 700 w/ 3.06 1st gear!
Might be a little more money initially, but as gas prices go up - - - - - - - - -

Out of all the 65s Bro owns, only the black hardtop is a stick.

You can't beat a TH400 for grunt-ability and durability. But given that you're looking for a nice cruiser street machine with the occasional romp down on the gas, I'd go with the beefed up TH350 for the ease of installation. I can understand the choice and staying with a "sissy shifter", as Bro calls it. But the older I get and with a very bad back and a screwed up leg/foot because of the back injury, I'm considering taking out the 4-speed for a sissy shifter TH400, but only because I like to romp down on it a little more often and I have a TH400 that came out of a 68 442. As to the other comments.....well.  |

I think his non rebuttal is an admission of defeat. Checkmate! Checkmate!

For what your doing the 350 is fine. And its also lighter than w 400. I do agree with the 200 as well.. Great street strip cruising trans.
