I want to swap in a th400 into my 93 LT1 car. Is there a kit that contains the correct crossmember and torkarm brakets? I would also like to retain my stock speedo. What size tail shaft works the best for this? Would a bolt on or slip fit yolk work better. And than of course do i need to alter the floor pan to make it fit. Also what kind of shifter is nesessary? I already have the drive shaft covered. Any other info to make this go as smooth as possible would deffintly be cool.

For the stock speedo you will need the 91ish (forget exact year) 454 ss pickup truck speed sensor. I can get you the part number but i dont have it off hand. The 454 ss used a elctronic pickup in the th400 so its a bolt in and go situation :)

You can get a mount for the torque arm from B&M racing or the likes they are around been made for the third gen cars for conversions but i would just get a stand alone setup.

Is the 93 4L60 speedo cable driven? I used the above parts on my 94 and they worked great but, I'm thinking 93's are different.

yeah, it does. :)

The 454 SS VSS connector part number is: 12085498

It's a no brainer to install...

you need:

Reluctor: 8655315
Pickup: 8655291
Connector 12085498


The new connector is needed because the plug-in is different on the pickup.

I have the aformentioned parts on my car, and the speedometer works. :)

Looks like I'll save this one. :)

Any idea on how much each part costs?

Seems like I paid about $90-$100 for the sensor and reluctor at gmotors.com. I didn't get the connector though.
