Th400 questions?

Any one have the approximate weight and length of a th400? I am swapping one in and want to know how much to modify my D-shafts. I have a 700 right now.

I forget the length but as for the driveshaft, I was able to use my stock one but with the proper TH400 slip yoke put on. No changes in driveshaft length. My car originally had the 200c which is within a half inch of length as the short tail TH400. Then I used Spohn's torque arm and crossmember to make things easy on the swap. Ah, found a chart for lengths
Code:
                                         
                          case     overall   bellhousing to
                         length    length    trans mount
powerglide (short tail)  15 1/4    24 1/4    19 1/2
powerglide (long tail)   15 1/4    27 1/2    20 1/2
thm200                   27 5/8    27 5/8    20 1/8

Ok I am going to get a TH400 built this week b/c my 700R4 blew last week. If I get the short tail TH400 then how long of a driveshaft will I need. I have a 9" rear and already changed the ujoint. I want an aluminum driveshaft.

Just a guess but you'll need one about 2 1/2 longer than what you have now... Measure to make sure after you put the new transmission in.
