Are all the TH400 to cross member mounting points the same? The cross members available for thirgens to adapt a TH400 say they need to be short shaft. If I got a long shaft and swapped it out for a short shaft I wouldn't want to run into a problem where the mounting points on the case are different and it wouldn't work.

Yes they are different.
Th-400 short shaft face to mount is 26-3/4"
TH-400 long shaft face to mount is 28"

Overall length is 26-3/4" on short shaft, and 34" on long shaft .

So no, you can not do as you planned, you will run into mount probs. I guess you could weld a plate steel tab to crossmember and drill new hole, but will still have torque arm mount trouble.

If the crossmember/kit mounts TQ arm to tailshaft it will not work, if crossmember has TQ arm mounted to it the longer trans may hit mount point or TQ arm

i could be wrong, but i thought the tranny mount doesnt change no matter what tailhousing you use?

On some they do and some they don't. TH-350 long and short tail has the mount in the same place, but the th-400 does not

Thanks for the info guys, but I found a short shaft tranny. I should be good to go.
