Keep the TH400 and run a taller diff. What you are doing is exactly what I did with my HZ Overlander.

thanks for the replys guys. what do you guys think about going with thermo fans instead of factory fan. as the body is very standard looking with the faded paint and rust free straight body. so im doing the drive train first as its a 253 trimatic in there

Most seem to use the Ford EF or thereabouts type.
