I am faced with 2 options for shifting the Th400 (out of a gasser). Vacuum or mechanical. I think I am going to go the vacuum route, I just need a vacuum pump and the VRV or "switch" that mounts to the left of the IP. Then i'll be all set!

I'm in the middle of designing/fabbing up mounts for my 6.2 swap into an M37; this has been a long-term project... the mount I bought to play with -

I have no idea what materials cost nor what my local shop charges for cutting steel plates to size. I like the weld in mounts in that last link you provided, I will keep them in mind. Looks like the only thing i'd have to shorten would be the plates that you weld onto the frame. Pretty effortless!

Has anyone made this swap? I'm concerned about the automatic transmission and the final gear ratio in low. I swapped a 366 with a Clark 5 speed into a 211. My low gear without the low side of the transfer case was too high. I don't want Gunny to get too involved and then later have to swap in a two speed transfer case.
