I am in the middle of changing to 400 turbo in 442. Ithas the factory 3.73 rear end now. I have been told that my rpm will be high at hi way speeds. What would a better gear to mate with this? Currently has a 403 turning between 350 and 400 horse.

Save the time and money on the swap and put it towards a stout 2004R. My biggest regret in my build is keeping the TH400. Its fun and its reliable but a 4L80E is better all around. I would recommend a 4L80E to you but you're not making that much power(no offense) so a mild 2004R should live. And keep some originality to the 4-4-2
And as an aside, there's some parts in a 4L80E that are the same as a TH400, like some shafts, bearings, bits and parts. Leads me to believe it's akin to an electronic TH400, or as close to it as you'll find. I'm not a transmission expert, but I do look at part numbers and cross-references, etc.Save the time and money on the swap and put it towards a stout 2004R.
