Make sure you "calibrate" that lokar dipstick. They are notorious for being a quart or two off if you just install out of the box

Measure a stock one and set the lokar to the same extension length when fully seated. Also make sure you KNOW what trans and pan capacity your dealing with ,, there are a handful of different stock TH400 pans.. Each holds +- a quart or two different.

I just did the same swap myself. Glad I did it. We'll be testing very soon!
