Does anyone know how well a chevy turbo 400 will work behind a 78 dodge 440. I have had the Dodge automatic rebuilt 3 times now and it keeps blowing. I saw a conversion kit for putting a chevy turbo 400 behind the 440 and thought this might be a great swap. The kit is by TCI and seem to be a complete set-up minus the tranny.
The truck is used to haul a Kubota L3010, boxblade and backhoe attachment on a dual axle trailer. Everyone has said that the dodge tranny is up to the task but so far it has just proved to be the weakest link. I have had 3 failures in 2 years, with me babying the last 2 rebuilds.
The questions are
Who makes kits for this swap?
What is the apprx cost?
Will the turbo 400 be up to the task?
Thanks for your help
