Between the 2 options you wish to use on the trans , I would go with the th350 its light will hold up to about 500 ponies pretty easy and fits in the car pretty good.
The th400 is a little bigger in girth and will require a little more beating of the floor for it to fit good, and not to mention it is a horsepower hog! It is tough, but more suited to a heavy car, wich you wont have, JMO.
Transmission. « Result #3 on Nov 22, 2009, 6:34pm »
hey guys i'v been reading the forum for the past while but only registered today , at the end of the winter i am buying a fox body mustang and am over hauling it the following winter with a chevy motor. i have looked into buying the ajc k member , trans cross member and the dynatech headers , and reading about franks mustang and how he said it fit better then original , that finalized my dicision about that , so i wont have to fab up any motor mounts or anything. the only real question i'v been thinking about in my head is what transmission to use , its between the th350 and the th400 it will be a street car with a few rides out to the strip every now and then. what tranny have you guys used with this conversion/ what transmission is the better one to get?
i got alot of questions to come but i would like some opinions on the transmisson , thanks alot guys!

Go on ebay and order a driveshaft to fit. Southernspeed sells driveshafts on there in any length and are good shafts. Will take a transbrake beating on it. The rear joint in the shaft is a 1310 and the rear joint that goes in the 8.8 yoke takes a 1310 joint. Comes with a front yoke that will fit a turbo 350.
my shaft was 165.00 , balanced and will take whatever I throw at it.

I would think you could pick up a pedal assembly from a salvage yard for on the cheap side 75.00 maybe less.
If you that close to memphis I would think salavage yards would be easy to find. I wouldnt even begin to buy something like that new. The price would be outrages.

coony278- well i guess that is another thing i will have to search for . unless i can find some parts at a salvage yard or something then that part will be placed on hold for a while. but i havent checked to see exactly how much it cost , any idea off the top of your head though? and i live in olive branch,ms and finding mustang parts are not as easy . tried pull aparts today , well i called and they said they didnt have a 5 spd there so like i said , just have to search around . but thanks for the info
