Default I want to convert from M6 to Turbo 400, can I use any Turbo 400?

I see them on ebay for $850, would one of these work or does it need to be a special one?

Whether it came out of a truck or car changes things but i think you can use any of them.
I have a truck tranny w/4" tailshaft (also has lower 1st gear) so I needed to have my yoke machined and my driveshaft had to longer than stock length. I was able to use the stock T56 crossmember w/o modifying it. I think with the 9" tailshaft housing you can use a stock length driveshaft with a standard Th400/4L80E Yoke. Depending on your header set-up you may have to cut the ears off the tranny...I didn't have to because I'm turbo.

You have to make sure its for a chevy and not a pontiac or oldsmobile .. So it will match up to your block and all
