Re: turbo 400 install questions
The crossmember will be the same and so will the shift linkage. The driveshaft is different, its shorter if i remember right.

Re: turbo 400 install questions
You'll have to move the crossmember back, there should be holes if the engine is located properly...you may have to rework your exhaust too if it is a custom job.

Re: turbo 400 install questions
E-brakes might not be important to you but the TH 400 cross member has an E-brake cable bracket attached to it for routing the cable. The attached mockup pic shows the bracket.
