Re: building big block f body
Yes they were, John..
The front face TH400 is natively compatible with either the Chevy 90 degree “Small Block” & “Big Block” patterned engines including the V6, V8, I6 & Iron Duke I4. These differences only affect the front bell of the case, and all Turbo 400 cases are largely similar from that point back.

Re: building big block f body
Well if a third gen used a th400. Your good then cause the 82 - 02 F-body driveshafts are all interchangable.

Re: building big block f body
