Re: th400 question
i'm pretty sure the converters are interchangeable. the flex on the current engine should work too so no need to change it.

Re: th400 question
The converter will physically slide into the TH400 just like a TH350. There is a difference between a TH350 and TH400 converter though. The mounts that attach to the flexplate are different diameters. The majority of all aftermarket flexplates come with dual bolt patterns to fit both converters. If your converter fit on your flexplate and all you're doing is changing the transmission then the TH350 converter will work fine.
You can even use that converter on a powerglide if the glide input shaft is swapped to a turbo spline shaft.

Re: th400 question
My old race converter was sold as a TH400 converter. I had it on a TH400 and on a powerglide.
