Vs clubsport 4L60E and putting in Turbo 400

[ward]

Turbo 400 looks the way to go I think best for me is to get a turbo 400 and then organize the speed sensor and get a crossmember made. Also have a block that I'm going to use for the stroker so hopefully can bolt it up to that a get measurement's for a tail shaft.
You don't know unless you ask and have a go

do you have the 5.0 sitting in the car already?? go for it u wont have any dramas fitting it up and i doubt youl come across anything major when doing it. the most major issue youl have is fittin the tailshaft which is no real issue.

mr j-man, sounds like your breathing tube is blocked. I understand the OPs question was re the trans, but have another read at post #5, and #7, and you will see he asks about stroker cranks as well. I am obviously not as much "in the know" as you, and yes, I do own a Commodore, and have had quite a few over the years, but the T400 has been a problem for a lot of people with tunnel clearance, so thats why I made reference to that. Nothing worse than buying bits to find they dont fit properly.
The T700 is of similar size to a T350. Its near enough the same box, except for an extra gear.
Check out the Harrop web site for crank info.
And finally, my word is not gospel, I am not religious. I am only, like most on here, trying to help.

Now, whats your claim to fame mr j-man????

ok you got me on the harrop crank availability....ive never looked at their site to realise its for sale. ive never seen, read anywhere in the last 10 yrs of these being used in a holden5.0 as everyone seems to run scat,c.o.m.e., and sometimes eagle and dare i say it....procomp!

claim to fame?? haha na mate no fame here! just hands on experience with workin on commodores as a hobby for the last 13yrs so after a while you kinda work out what fits and what doesnt when u mix n match 1st gen commo parts ..... you work out what to use, you get it, you make it fit, and get advise along the way if your not sure....like ward has!
if i knew this forum existed years ago it would have saved me alot of time wasted trialing different parts.
my 1st trade was an auto upholsterer for the custom side of cars i know its not mechanical, but thats where i put my spare time into........( the mechanical side of things) ,
now im a refrig mechanic.....rebuilding 3phase 2,4&6 cylinder semi hermetic compressors and messing with the odd screw compressor too, fitting gas pipe.... changing electrical switchgear ..... and the list goes.
so yeah thats my claim but not to fame sorry if my previous post was a tad out of line

good stuff... pretty good trade to be in... i work for austral/hastie, plenty of $$ to make if you wana chase it .... the $$ come in handy when workin/buildin cars too, a mate of mine just moved down your way and is/was tryin to get me down there too, not too sure on what the supermarket refrig industrie is like down there but its pretty busy up here in bris .
i was goin to fit a QS shifter to my VH but it was goin to sit really high up ... a good 2inches higher than the stock tbar so i flagged that idea an left it stock.... i may fit a pro ratchet when the 355 goes in, alot more compact compared to a QS or mega shifter.
the linkages and cable are pretty straight foward as per intructions really ... having it sitting and looking good in the console is a different story. alot of 1st gen commos that run an after market shifter usually do away with the center console. i doubt you would wana do that! see if you can find any pics on google to give u a visual idea on how to sit it
