This might explain the combo?
I think I've read somewhere that some people prefer a prepped TH350 for
racing applications
rather than a TH 400 due to the 400's power drainage.
The car was once a street/strip project in the 80's which never got to be
finished
and the guy who I bought it from just put it back together from pieces, had
it for
a while and then sold it to me...
I'm planning to go the same way but I'm leaning more towards street rather
than strip and
with some serious power under the hood I better check that 350 up!?
Thank's

1967 was the first year for TH400's to be available in Chevelles and El
Caminos,Tom.
A stock TH350 needs some beefing up to live a long life behind a
BBC. The advantage to the 350 over a 400 is the lower rotational mass (less
power drain) and shorter low gear; 2.54 vs 2.48.

Big blocks only got 4 speeds or a TH400 trans from 68-up and a 4 speed
or powerglide from 67 and down. A TH350 may hold up for a while on a
stock big block, but if you put any kind of real torque behind it, it won't
last long.
