I wouldn't put a used junkyard transmission into a car.  It probably needs to be rebuilt as well.  I can get TH400 cores for $75.  Do you really need a TH400??  A TH350 will hold just fine behind a stout small block, unless you are planning to build a stout big block, then you will need a TH400.  A good rebuild on a TH350 should run you no more than $600.  That's what I paid for a street/strip TH350 with an ATI converter that I had built to go behind the 300 HP 350 in my 86 Cutlass.  My 70 SS on the other hand has a pro street built TH400 with an ATI converter and that ran me $1000, but it's bullitproof.   Tom
