Going From An NP435 to TH400

Trigger · 08-08-2011, 06:17 PM

Asked this on Pirate and didn't get much response, so I figured I'd ask here. My current setup is 5.3L/NP435/Ford 205. I picked up a TH400 and am wanting to swap the 4-speed for the auto. I know that I'm going to need a different flywheel/adapter that I can get from AA to mate the tranny to the engine. I'm not too concerned about that, as it's only about $150 from AA. They also make an adapter that will mate the Ford 205 to the TH400, but it runs over $600 and I don't really want to spend that much.

Are there any cheaper alternatives to get this done? Anyone had any experience with doing it? Let me know.
