    Converting a Th400 to a reverse valve body?

     



    What's involved with changing a standard Tranny into a reverse valve body?
    Is it as easy as just changing the valve body on the bottom of the tranny, under the pan?
    Is a total rebuild needed?
    Expensive?
    I am just learning as I go.

    I actually had it rebuilt last year, and I put a shift kit in it, But I am changing out the Hurst console shift and changing over to a B and M quicksilver. I t would make sense to yank it back, the slap it forward....
