Title: Whats mates to a TH400?
Post by: ferretjuggler on March 13, 2011, 11:54:06 AM

Just FSJ pipe dreaming here.

Obviously Chevy V8s will fit inc Big Block.

Various other stuff like Jaguar/Porsche is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, I'm thinking big yank V8 :greggmo:

What about the big Cadillac V8s :017:

Cheers Dood :098:

I quite forgot about Novak, I tend to take some of their advice with a pinch of salt, they allways seem to rubbish the AMC engines :011:

So to fit a Cadillac 500 V8 I'd need a " BOPC" TH400 casing, which would be standard fitting on the caddy.

And then you can put a short shaft on the back of the TH400 and run a dana 300 or Atlas if ya win next eurolottery


Always been my dream 71 500 ci caddy and th400 in a jeep............. (I think they reduced power after 71..... lead free gas and stuff)

Just wot I were thinking, 'cos I saw a cheap caddy with a 500 on eBay a few weeks ago.

I'd be looking at fuel injection TBH, running that on a big over-fueling leaky old Holley would just about break the bank

I'd wanna stay with the jeep rear end of the TH400 tho..........the quadratrack suits my driveline better :greggmo:
