    I have come across this forum several times while searching for parts for my 66 special - Had to join in!:beer

    I do have a question (surprise surprise :grin:).

    Can anyone tell me if the th400 will fit the 300 ci engine (wildcat 310) that was offered in 66?

    What catagory does the 300 fit into:
    does it use the BOP pattern?
    If it's not a nailhead - are there any other names for it? (be nice).
    Do the "A," bodies take a long tale or short tail transmission?

    I have been all through the service manual for my car (as well as many internet sites) and can not locate the answers to these questions.:confused:

    Sincere Thanks, Brad Winter

    Brad,
    • The TH 400 will fit a 300 engine
    • The 300 is a small block, and shares design features with the 340 and 350
    • The 300 uses the BOP bolt pattern
    • I have heard it called a "Mini-Nailhead," but that is confusing since it is not
    • The short tail 400 was used in the A-body
    Hope that helps!

    Cheryl :)
