I was putting my truck together when I ran across this problem. The old converter was for a 440 and I'm using a 400 now. I took the 400 tq and all, but it doesn't fit my trans.. The fork that goes in to the tranny are bigger with 400 than the one for the 440. I was just going to use the 440tq with 400 engine, but it looks like the 440 tq has two weights by the tq drain. what will work... Thanks MIke

The size of the weights on a cast crank 440 converter is the same as those on a cast crank 400 converter so they will interchange.
Some drive slots are larger than others but all are larger than the drive lugs in the pump so that's not the reason it won't go in.

If in doubt measure from the face of the bellhousing to the one of the drive lugs, should be back at least 1/2".
Even though the cast crank 440 and 400 are both externally balanced the dampers aren't the same, the cast crank 400 damper is thinner than the 440.
