ok thanks for the reply. i'm pretty sure i can get a longer pickup tube for a th400 to keep that from happening. this is my first th400 so gotta look into that before i get the super deep one.

 

its not the filter but the cooling tubes that are in the pan that stop you from going deeper. i talk to Mr rossler about this and he doesnt like these pans at all.

 

oh i see. but, the fluid level should stay the same level from the filter, just a deeper reservoir holding it i would think. sorry, don't wanna mess up your thread.

 

Your fine as along as it's positive talk anything in my thread is ok with me

 

sounds good man! never been a trash talker. can't wait to see the final product!

 

Got some things cleaned up and painted today making good head way. Big thanks to my buddy mike (chubbz155) for the help. We make short work of everything we do

 

awesome ........ keep the updates coming

 

We defintaly make short work of everything. The new paint looks a hell of a lot better!

 

Looking AWESOME Tom! Feels and looks so good when you do all the little optional stuff in a big build.

 

That rear end came out awesome! Checked it when I got home today from work **** looks bad ***

 

Is that POR-15 or just black paint?

Time for some aftermarket shocks tom!

 

Thanks Crazy Looks great

 

Its just 12 dollar tractor paint from.tractor supply

 

402ci, turbo placement, 4L80 with PY3400.

Hmmm sounds just like the car here. LOL

Good luck with the project.

 

Don what are you trying too say lol tell Sam to stop copying me lmao

 

What made you go with truck manifolds over Stainless Works turbo down/forward headers? Very curious.

Also why did you move from twins to a single? I'm stuck right now between a GT-55 or twin TC76/78s.
Keep up the good work, I stop in this thread everyday.

 

Twins proved to be to big of a pain in the *** for what their worth. A good single front mount will do what he wants with a lot less head aches.

 

The whole idea behind this build is to keep things simple. Less BS the better. As much as I like to work on turbo cars I prefer to drive mine. I bet my car will also be 100lbs light er after this build. I have removed allot of stuff and the twins were heavy right around 160lbs when I shipped it out.

The reason for not using turbo headers was do to plug access. I don't want to fight anything on this car.unlike the twins if you had to work on or inspect anything it had to go on the hoist. That even gets old

 

Thank You. You've helped me reconsider not doing twins...

 

Should make your life easier in the long run
