So among the other items that I managed to salvage from the neighbour before the contractor turned the garage into a horror story I was able to score a THM400 from the old lean-to. It did not appear in the best of external condition but the ATF Oil was a deep red and right up with no smell to it so paid off the scrapper that had come to carry it off and drug it home to my shop.
One thing that makes this unit slightly unique is that it is the BOP or corporate version of the 400. This means it is meant to fit Pontiacs, Buicks and Oldsmobubbles but not Chebbies. Based on being able to score a useable Chev version 400 case in my travels, is it possible to remove the guts from the BOP 400 and transfer them to the Chevvie case??? I get that it would be a labor intensive exercise and probably a pain in the butt to execute but 400's of any ilk are not exactly plentiful on the ground around here and having one on hand to either use or swap for ??? could prove useful.
Thoughts and ideas???
