TH400 / TH700R4 conversion question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi Guys ,
question :
will the sliding part of the drive shaft coming out of a TH700R4 fit on a TH400 ? .
I began yesterday to pull the engine/tranny combo ( 6.2 Diesel/TH700 ) out of the Burb I bought , to be replaced by a Olds 350/TH400 combo , coming from my truck...
I have a two pieces drive shaft on the truck , with a sliding part between the two pieces , does the first part of that drive shaft also slide in the tranny

Thanks ,
The Baron

Afraid not. The TH350 and TH700r4 have the same spline out of the tranny but the TH400 is different. If you can find a TH350 or TH700r4 equipped truck you can use the driveshaft end then. On some models the whole driveshaft will interchange with no shortening of it since the 700r4 is longer.

i just pulled out a 400 and replaced it with a 700r-4 and used the same driveshaft yoke.

The TH400 has a 31 spline output shaft compared to the 27 spline shaft on the TH350.

Thanks Guys ,
I think the better option right now is to dismantle both pieces and check them...

In the worst case , I will have to use the TH400 yoke and adapt the Burb drive shaft , no big deal.

I'm just worried about the two trannies lengths , I hope I won't have to shorten that drive shaft...

We'll see , I'll take some pic's next week and post them here

have a nice weekend
