So I need to pull the trany out of '69 Camro for a lady friend.

She claims it's a 350 car, (I'm assuming it's a T400, maybe T350? I duuno)


Where would the best place in Souithern Alberta be to get this rebuilt?

Advice would be swell.....

 

Ricks racing Tranny's in Calgary. rick used to be the th400 king. but I think anyone competant can build one up.

build a TH400.......

Thanks!

I will check that out for sure, sounds like what I need!

 

Could put in a 4L80E transmission. A turbo 400 with an over drive (four speed). Makes for a nice driver with 3.9 or 4.11 gears. They came in chevy 1 tons back in the early 80's

 

Does your lady friend know how much a 1st Gen F-body is worth these days? Especially a '69 Camaro??

Skip the automatic & go straight to a T56 6 speed manual swap! It's a bolt in swap these days.

Click on "transmission".

I don't know Joe if that would be a good idea...I have been checking the trend in F-body cars and right now,number matching cars are the big thing.They are getting way bigger resale money than a modified car.Unless you don't have to cut the car..then its ok...as long as you keep the orginal parts to put the car back to stock..

 

4l80 was only 1st availiable in 1991. was the th400 up until 1990.


and if anything. a second vote for Tremec T-56.....this is my T-56 for my '73 z-28.


mmmmm swanky.

 

You're totally right Dave. Leaving a car or truck stock, especially a classic, will result in a higher resale value.

But that is soooo boring. My Mustang 5.0L would likely be worth way more if I hadn't totally modified it, especially the 6 point roll bar but I can never leave any vehicle stock.
Even if I owned a mint original 1st Gen Camaro or Mustang I would totally get bored of it and start modding it.

Luke's T56 trans is totally sweet. They even make a bolt-in model for my Mustang but I haven't broken the T-5 in over 4 years now.

 

There was a SBF T56 for sale on p-shop not that long ago. If this was about 5 years earlier, I would have been all over that. I was wanting to do a 393 stroker in my ranger with a 6 speed. How plans have changed!

 

A turbo400 with a gear vendors on the back, way more bullet proof and easier to run fast. A high stall converter and transbrake.
