69 TURBO 400

I had one of these that I sold last year for not much money. It needed a complete rebuild, but had a good clean case, was missing the converter.

Someone mentioned to me that the CX transmissions had some external difference(s) that would be the same as the truck TH400 trans. I personally could not see a difference with another Chevelle TH400 (1970 396 application) that was also sitting in the garage. I see the 6-lug converter mentioned in a previous post as I recall had the CX had a 6-lug converter as well. Are there any similarities that would make a CJ a good match to a CX in appearance or actual performance?

The CX THM400 is no different ( on the outside ) than any
other automobile THM400 of the period. All the good stuff is inside!

Additionally, the 6-lug converter for the SHP applications
was indeed different than the truck series 6-lug converters.

If you look at the CX/CY topic under the "Technical & Restoration"
section, you will see that the SHP converters were stamped
differently to identify them as such.

Thanks for the info. Always learn something new and interesting here everyday.

I have a couple truck turbo 400s with the short tailshaft, the bolt in yoke, and six lug converters. Denny's Drive Shaft has a slip yoke for these if you want to run them in a car.
