im looking to go to a divorced tcase set up on my 85 chevy, im leaning towards using a 2wd turbo 400, was wondering about manual valve bodies...anyone run one in there truck...?
whats everyone else running for a divoreced setup? any pointers?
im not runnin a divorced case or a 400 but i have a reverse shift pattern manual valve body in my 350 trans and love it. only thing i would change about it is going with the other valve body tci had rather then this one cuz i hate the engine breaking system it has. dont know why i bought this one in the first place.
if i remember right manual valve bodies for 400s are expensive. i believe 400+. i could be wrong or maybe prices came down but when i was lookin for mine i ran across alot for 400s and everyone was over 400
Use a manual valve body on a th400. They are known for blow shifting. I have a 2wd th400 if you need one. PM me.

what is blow shifting? and how much for the th400? what condition is it in?
is this gonna be in a dd? if so you might get sick of always clicking the shifter up and down all day long. you might want to look into a manual/auto vale body swap.

Blow shifting is when the trans will shift into 2nd when you have it all the way down into 1st. PM sent.
