6060 to turbo 400 swap

[Slickcas]

Most the stuff I've seen on here is pretty dated. So starting this to get some help and suggestions.
I'm planning on taking out the M6 And going with a turbo 400 for more Dragracing.
So please make suggestions
......Things needed ..... some optional Will add to list over time.

Yank set me up with a Flexplate and Torque converter that needs no spacers.
DSS sent me a driveshaft for a SS with ZL1 Diff.

Transmission ? From where and what options are actually needed? On the Th400 seems a mild rebuild with upgraded clutches is all that is needed for 700hp+/-
Dipstick ? Lokar has a nice flexible solution.
Torque converter ? Anti- ballooning etc ? Circle D seems popular.
What SFI Flexplate ? TCI
Driveshaft ? I hear DSS has the measurements for two styles .
Shifter ? Seen a few B&M suggestions please
Crossmember ? Stock M6 can be used. One hole needs drilled.
Transmission mount? Assuming Standard TH400/350?
Reverse light? M6 just use 2wire connection, A6 not sure yet
Neutral safety switch ? Seen one person break the wire going to the starter.
Rearview camera ?
Speedometer? Wheel sensors will take care of that!
Gear indicator ? Dakota Digital has some cool solutions.

RPM transmissions in Indiana told me they do not have "kits"

Did mine last September.
Transmission ? I bought a core and had my local builder do a stock rebuild with Transgo shift kit with a 4l80 drum and 34 element sprag.
Torque converter ? Call Circle D.
What SFI Flexplate ? TCI
Driveshaft ? I run my stock one but modded the front.
Shifter ? B&M Pro Ratchet
Crossmember ? Stock M6 can be reused but what modifications need done? I cut the front out some abd just drilled one hole. The other hole was already cadt in the xmember.
Transmission mount? Stock TH400
Reverse light? I dont run one but will.
Neutral safety switch ? I dont run one.
Rearview camera ? I dont run one.
Speedometer? Mine never stopped working. Reads ABS as backup.
Gear indicator ? I dont run one.

Nice Bo White. I was hoping you would chime in.

I called RPM and got their plug and play kit. 4L80e is basically a TH400 with an extra gear and a brain. I'd call them if I were in your shoes.

[Bo White]

Th400 is real simple. All you need is a vacuum source off the intake manifold if not going manual valve body. I dont recommend that if driven on the street. Too much constant pressure and will wear the pump out.

Planning on this as well!

[MoeIv]

Have one as well

Transmission ? FTI level 3 with the ultra bell housing, for drag racing
Torque converter ? Circle D converter, ptc is also great
What SFI Flexplate ? TCI
Driveshaft ? DSS.
Shifter ? B&M bandit but if I had to do it again, I'd get a tci outlaw just because it looks nicer
Crossmember ? I used my stock auto crossmember, but the manual could be modded to fit
Transmission mount? I used the energy mounts
Reverse light? Yes
Rearview camera ? 2010 no rear view mirror
Speedometer? Never stopped working
Gear indicator ? None, I learned quick

Like the stock look, Need to do something with the TC button.

[Bo White]

I can move the shifter over a touch to center it up between the button and lighter but doubt it will clear still. Im not concerned.

[Slickcas]

Another thought what dipstick and tube are people using for the TH400 and 4L80?

[Bo White]

I use a Lokar firewall mount one. I dont have it mounted though. Just laid up on the back of the intake.
