switching to powerglide or th400 questions? - 11/18/10 02:34 AM
When switching to these transmissions behind a BB mopar, obviously you have to switch to a jw bell housing, shifter, flex plate for 8 bolt crank to convertor, driveshaft yoke. Will my starter work with the thicker bell housing? Can I use my 727 convertor, just have it modified for PG/th400?
Anything else I am missing?

the best part of the conversion beside the transmission is the deeper bell housing for better converters.
I use a JW bell on my turbo 400.

Good info, I have a brand new Bell+ultracase and havenīt tried to fit the starter yet, but as I am in sweden, I will handmade my own shims for the starter. The shipping will cost more than the kit itself.
