Re: 403 to 400
Yes, if you are using a 400 trans you will need a shorter driveshaft, if you are on a budget you can get yours shortened and rebalanced but I recommend having a custom one made with thicker metal and larger diameter and stronger ends.
If you have fabrication skills or know somebody that does you can modify your crossmember for the 400. I made a new mount for my 400 and then welded it on my existing crossmember and then I welded in 1/4" plate to box in the areas I cut out for exhaust clearance or you can by one of the aftermarket ones.
I actually have a ratio box I bought from a speedo shop that runs between 2 separate speedo cables that corrects the speed of my Autometer speedo so I'm not sure if there is a factory gear that will do that.
