the diesel units are full of turbo400 internals and there is all kind of aftermarket stuff available---check with larry at chrisman torque converters he has pioneered a torqueflite converter with the same stuff inside----years ago he bought a $900 race converter from a big national chain then cut it open to find it full of machined down nissan stuff--that propelled him into using off the shelf american parts----check his website out----other guys here have mentioned using his stuff--and i think his are moderately priced too----bob



Now that is funny!
Who and why put chevy parts in a better trans?
This trans can easily be built so no NA gas motor will hurt it.
If the trans can be built and hold a diesel with 1500 Ft. lbs. it is over kill for a gas motor.
The T-400 is a good trans too.
