    I am starting to move forward with the 4 speed swap in the vert and will be selling this transmission to offset the pain in the A$$ :eek2:

    This is a bolt up and go, barely used BUICK TH 400 Short Shaft with Shift Kit and 4K Stall Switch Pitch conversion. It has a very positive shift in all three gears :Brow:

    Don "The Worm" Elgin the reknowned PONTIAC Drag Racer is the only guy I ever let build my transmissions and he has done so for me since 1986!!! He built this tranny for me with the POSTON 4K Stall Kit in 2004. Never in a daily driver and NOT ABUSED. It has been in the vert with limited usage since I got the car back on the road @ 2006. If I had to venture a guess since I never hooked up speedo cable, I would a couple thousand gentle miles on it? It works perfectly, includes converter, dip stick w/ tube, custom braided hoses, deep TH 400 cooling tube pan, newer mount and a radiator mounted trans cooler bought last summer.

    The trans is still in the car, feel free to check it out yourself or if far away, have someone from the board here investigate it. Please contact me if interested. I can ship or you can pick up. I am asking $850.00 dollars for the entire set up. Thank You.

    I'm interested if it'd fit into a '71 B-body with that short output shaft. I'm going from a TH350, so re-working the driveshaft is a given anyway, so I'm wondering about the trans mounts.

    Any idea about fitting into a longshaft car?
    Also shipping to 79508, with or without a dock?

    I have a long shaft I would be hapy to swap onto it for you, no cost.

    Mark,

    I'm very sorry, but I'm going to have to pass at this time. I ran it by my financial advisor (wife), and while I'd love a SwitchPitch tranny, I think I'd rather stay married for now. :ball:

    The transmission looks like is has a BOP bell pattern. What year is it and what engine is hooked to? Also the switch pitch feature still works, correct? Let me know as I am interested.
