  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1975 Electra Motor and Trans

Discussion in 'The "Juice Box"' started by macnjac, Feb 17, 2005.

    I recently purchased a 455 engine and TH 400 transmission out of a
    1975 Electra 225. I'm planning on putting both into my 65 Skylark, but
    I'm wondering if the trans has the "short tail", or the "long tail" on it.
    Can anyone tell me ? :Do No:

    Pretty sure that is the long tail used in most big Buicks.

    Short shaft extension housing is 4 1/4" long, long shaft is 9 3/4" long. Just look at the back of the trans and measure it.

    Shifter Linkage

    Can the column shift linkage be used or modified to operate the
    TH-400 transmission ?

    Thanks,
    Mark
