BnM TH400 $500 (bought it brand new 3 years ago from freind that had it in garage)
3800-4200 converter $100 (bought it from same freind)
hurst torque arm mount $130
lokar extended dipstick tube $70
24000gvw cooler $50
BnM prostick $150 (bought it 4 years ago and had it in 3 cars already)
6.0L flywheel $freebee (had it laying around)
6 speed crossmeber $freebee (my car is already a M6)
driveshaft $75 labor to shorten (used, already had 400 yoke on it)
cooler lines $10
so far thats a total of $1085 and considering i already had the tranny stall and shifter, i really only spent $335
. you can bet i am happy. all i am waiting on is the shaft (should be tomorrow) and figureing out how to mount the shifter without drilling any holes in the car (one thing i am totally against since i will restore it to factory shape someday)

When built right, they can easily handle 9 sec. cars. Ask me how I know.
Understandable.
Good luck.

What gears are you running out back?? 4.10's??? How long do you think your 10 bolt is going to last?? Do you know if the length of the Drive shaft going to change any when you switch to a 12 bolt??

well i finished it up today and went for a drive. drives like my 69 did now. i love it. no vibrations or funny noises but i still have to cover up the M6 shifter hole. total spent for the swap was around $375. this is considering i already had the tranny, flywheel and stall. the swap went smoother then i thought so i should be back at the track soon to see if i gain or lose time. i picked up 1QWIKZ and went for about 3 WOT passes on the side of the freeway. i sure dont have the top end i had with the M6 anymore but the low end feels much better. so inclusion, i feel pretty confident that i have the absolute cheapest TH400 swap on LS1tech. SPECIAL PARTS MY ***!!!!!!

Send them to my email jay.mik@***.net and I will host them for you on my web account.
And for everyone's information....I spent about $3500 for my TH400 swap, and the only thing I had was my M6 crossmember that was of any use for the swap. This guy is the king of cheap street in my book! And my reward for spending all that money on a top of the line setup....spun a bearing after doing a transbrake launch!!!

i also have some of the motor build up, heads i ported and friends camaro that i am putting a motor in. geocities does not let me put them on this site but if you can, host the ones of the tranny and place them on here so other people can see them.
thanks, steve.
