This is very good information. I forgot to mention that I'm keeping the stock NP208 transfer case--no reason not to-- but that makes adapting the 700R4 a little hairy. My goal is to install the 401 with a compatible overdrive tranny and minimize modifying the existing drivetrain. I could do the T-18, the TF727, or the TH400, but my goal is *overdrive.* The NV4500 from a late 90s Dodge looks to be the best route. Unless the output shaft of the 700R4 can be switched out or modified from 27 spline to 23 spline for the NP208, then the NV4500 is the logical best choice.Originally Posted by Dusty
I'm not planning on rock crawling (kinda hard to do here in lowzy-anna and I'm not building a racing engine. But I am installing some things like a crank scraper and, much later, a radiator with an electric fan to minimize parasaitic drag. I've done a little looking around, and a beefed up 700R4 is every bit as pricey as a NV4500 if not more so when you specify that the tranny be able to accommodate 400 horsepower.
Thinking about the 700R4, check the bottem half of the bolt pattern.
If the alinement pins and first bolt are indexted the same in reference to the crank, then section in the top half of the bellhousing. I was thing about doing this so I can run one in my J20 with a 455 buick.
But then again I've lost a few marbles over the years
IF IT STILL STARTS DO IT AGAIN!
dodges with the 208's came with 23 splines also behind the np435s for a few years the 700R4 came married to the 208 so i dont think it should be too hairy. probably just a matter of swapping the inputs ordering the correct one.
I am a strong advocate of manual tranny's
The nv4500's can be had used for $600-900 in great shape, i have bought a couple for that price range and run them. even bought a couple with sheered off inputs from dodge diesels, replaced the input and ran them worked great.
being able to hold 400HP is hard with the 700R4 without alot of cash. its not the hp as much as it is the torque from the 401 that kills trannys manual and automatics. DONT lug the nv4500 below 1500-1600 in OD rumor has it that is what is hardest on the OD gear and the bearings and typically leads to thiewr failure. nice thing though is if OD fails it falls off into the tail housing not the rest of the gear cluster
my whole NV4500 combo bellhousing hydraulic clutch tranny and t-case is sitting somewhere around $2500 with the HD output on the t-case and everything new/rebuilt from flywheel to rear t-case yoke. and i had to put a new input, output/mainshaft, OD gear and bearings in my tranny then the t-case got the HD output, clocking ring and longer input and a rebuild, then the new clutch, AA bellhousing, hydraulic system and flywheel. so it adds up quick but i was aiming for all out rebuilt and new.
I love these ones too
"AMC 360 is the same motor as a dodge 5.9 360"
"401 that motor is a turd my (mildly built) 350 chevy would run circles around my buddy's 77 gagoneer with a stock 401"
"Get rid of that AMC Crap it costs too much to build one and convert to a chevy small or big block"
"the 401 is an aneamic POS dont waste your money"
and then you educate them with taillights and tire smoke when the light turns green.
IF washington wont quit spending money like mad men then i suggest we claim 9 deductions in 2010 and withold or taxes till the final dead line of 4/15/2011.
