speedometer conversion
I'm putting a 400turbo trans behind my 350 swap in my 93 Safari. The 400 trans has a manuel speedo, the 93 safari has an electric speedo, is there anything out there to screw into the 400 and bring it out to electrical?? like a conversion or ?????

The later ones used an electronic setup I believe, look for one like this:(note the big hole in the tail shaft) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rebuilt- ... dZViewItem
You'll need a tail shaft if yours has a "small" hole in it and not a big one like the pic above, and you'll need the parts here http://www.transmissioncenter.net/speed ... va.htm#400 This should be Junk Yard stuff if you can find it, I would be seriously tempted to try the 700R4 stuff and see if it's compatible myself, it looks physically similar. That being said it could very well be er not ;P
