Difference between gas th400 and diesel th400?

[my69camaro]

I have several diesel turbo 400's laying around and I want to build one to put behind a gas 454ci motor... What needs to be changed in order for this to work? Torque converter, anything internal?

I think the torque converter and possibly the governor springs and weights

What was stated above.

Governor. Also do the diesels have any sort of shift kit to compensate for the low RPM shifts? Mine always ****s real firm compared to other cars...unless it has a trailer behind it.

Just the springs and weights... not the whole governor, there all the same for the TH400. The Diesels do not have a shift kit and also have the same amount of check balls as the gassers from the factory.

Theres a guy on here goes by countryboy that just swapped a 350 into his 1008 and didn't change a thing, seems to work fine.
