Don't know the answer, but I'm curious, is the 400 for the Denali? You're going to absolutely hate your fuel economy without overdrive, and I know that you're concerned with that from your other thread...

A 4l80e would be a turbo 400 with od, Ud like it better. I know they used to have conversion tailshaft housings and speedo pickups to adapt to newer style speedometers

You can tune for any tire diameter.

th400s are strong as hell, the stalls dont cost as much, and around here, it cost around 500-600 to build them for racing, still have one that held up for 3 seasons with a bbc on nitrous
