I am building a turbo 400 as well for my car. Went with a Reid case, bell and tail housing. Tried getting quotes for all the internals from Cope and they couldn't be bothered.

I am building a turbo 400 as well for my car. Went with a Reid case, bell and tail housing. Tried getting quotes for all the internals from Cope and they couldn't be bothered. wow that looks nice . would be the best way forward if going that direction . certainly an option when making power . as to cost ? you do what you have to do . no different to going 9"diff or glide . lordy be I had my transbrake 727 built with billet steel drum etc cost just over AUS$5000 . ATI wouldn't recommend a 727 for me , they recommended a T400 . I just couldn't go towards $10G aussie plus the niggle changes - shaft , crossmember etc Tex

Not a turbo 400 but it sure helps keep costs down when you buy stuff yourself (sometimes 20-30% off) and build it yourself. I bought three ATI cases and built a 1.98 low geared powerglide for my black Duster, a 1.69 low gear for my heads up car, and a 1.80 low gear for a spare or if I ever finish my green Duster. The bellhousing changes out in about 5-10 minutes and can go in all car I have.
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

I am just an ET chaser staying out of trouble at the track as I have for the past 30 yrs.I am making some calls about a 9.5" vert getting a price and 1,000 is the going price for several and I am getting to know the GM vert a little.I wanted to make sure I got the correct 10.75 bolt pattern also. when I put the T400 in my car, I called ATI for the converter. Since it was a GM converter it was $800.00 , I asked how much would the exact same converter be for a 727, it was $1200.00. I asked why?? they said I have no idea, its really the same converter with different hub/spline and bolt pattern. LMAO ! ! $400.00 difference for not really that much difference!!
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....

I was on the ph with Mike at Rossler and there is no real way to save my drive shaft with a shorter th400 even with a 9" tail output it comes more than an inch short.I can get a longer th400 yoke 6" I believe but is not enough.The th400 is 33"7/8"long bell to tail.and the 727 35"1/4" ps:I indexed my trans on the firewall and marked center so I can test fit the new trans asap.The engine has 2" to the firewall from the back of the engine.

I left the base in to maybe mount a cover or make a new console.I will work on the switch/electric also as you can see I need to do. ps:I really dont like taking the factory stuff out but not being able to use the power I can make bothers me.
