1st thought is, does it have enough fluid? If you filled it to the full mark w/o running, then started it, you emptied the pan. Check it with the engine running.
That's basic, and not an attempt to flame. If you know the fluid is where it should be, then perhaps you don't have any pressure. Get it started, undo a cooler line and see if you have any flow (may have to put it into gear - can't remember for sure about the TH400 right now). If no flow, then you've got an internal problem.
Did you change the filter before you put it in? Maybe the o-ring wasn't put on properly and you're sucking air.
Is the shifter hooked up properly? Again, basic, no flame intended, but need to cover all the bases.
Do you know for sure it operated before you bought it? If not, you may have been sold a core.
P.S.: "crank out of a 400"? (assume "crak" means "crank") Bored .030" over? 334...!
