    Any issues with bolting a TH350 to a 400 sbc? Does everything JIVE? Flex plate, torque converter, anything else?

    It fits fine but make sure you use a 400 flexplate.

    Most small block Chevys are internally balamced. The 400 is externally balanced. Make sure you do this.

    Modern, post-54, open drive Chevy transmissions bolt to ALL Chevy engines, 4(62-70 Nova), 6(230,250, etc.), 8(55-up), small or big block.

    Yep! I did it with '72 Caprice Cl***ic that came with 400 sbc and a TH-400 trans... You "might" have to change the trans cross member also...
