just swap the 350 in there 350/200R4. Otherwise its a lot of parts changing for the trannies. Driveshafts, crossmembers etc.

Are you sure it's really a TH400? Olds rarely put the TH400 behind a 350. If it's a TH400-looking case, it may be the TH375, which uses the smaller TH350 yoke and has lower-duty internals.

yeah its a th375
