    Hi all,

    Curious if there's anything special about a ST400 nailhead bell housing BS coded trans and what is the going rate for a core?

    Regards,

    BS should be a desirable core.

    There is value to someone with that bolt pattern, and also with a switch
    pitch oil passage. BOP cases are far more common. Bruce Roe

    I was trying to find the things that were upgraded for the 65 GS transmission... found this:

    The 1965 Riviera Gran Sport benefited from an improved transmission introduced a year earlier: the Super Turbine 400. Dick Sweeney notes that the Super Turbine 400 featured a reinforced valve body. These transmissions also benefited from recalibration that allowed the Gran Sport to shift at higher rpm. The three-speed Super Turbine 400 featured four pinions in each planetary gearset, versus the usual three.

    from Hemmings, but that is why it is a desirable unit! (He said unit )

    Hi,

    Thanks for the info, any ideas on what they're going for?

    I got it with a 425 core so no clue on what condition it's in.

    Regards,

    Since condition & workings are unknown it's only value is core value which would be around $100.00 give or take.

    65-66 nailhead st400 cores go for about $250 from what I have witnessed. a 65 Riv GS core probably has a bit more value

    Hemmings, huh? All 400s have 4 pinions, why would that massive cast
    iron valve body need to be reinforced? He should have talked about its
    switch pitch feature. Bruce Roe

    I believe he's referring to a 425 nailhead core not a th425 transmission
