Can you put a 400 turbo transmission in small block 327?

Yes, you can put a 400 Turbo transmission behind a small block 327 engine. The 400 Turbo is a three-speed automatic transmission that was produced by General Motors from 1964 to 1981. It was used in a variety of GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Buick Regal. The 400 Turbo is a relatively strong transmission that can handle up to 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. It is also a relatively lightweight transmission, weighing in at only 85 pounds.

To install a 400 Turbo transmission behind a small block 327 engine, you will need the following parts:

* 400 Turbo transmission

* Transmission mount

* Driveshaft

* Flexplate

* Starter

The installation process is relatively straightforward. First, you will need to remove the existing transmission from the engine. Then, you will need to install the transmission mount to the engine block. Next, you will need to install the driveshaft. Then, you will need to install the flexplate to the crankshaft. Finally, you will need to install the starter.

Once the 400 Turbo transmission is installed, you will need to fill it with transmission fluid. You will also need to adjust the transmission shift linkage.
