I've seen powerglide and 4l80 kits to mount to the transaxle, but not th400.

Vince is right. We have put TH400 and 4L80e transmissions in MANY different cars with great success.

Here is a GM Hightech artical on our customer Mike Romaine's C5. A TH400 install is very similar but it doesn't require quite as much cutting to the floor.

YANK built with the help on GM Motorsports the first PG, TH400 C5 kits back in 2004 and the 4L80E conversions in 2006 for the C5 and C6 They fit and work very well and the conversion has been used in many Corvette thru the years.

But we no longer supply packages due to increased converter demand.
