Hey everyone,

 

I need help with a FMV for the th400 I plan on using. I have a good th400 core laying around that I think I paid $75-100 for a while back. Is everyone ok with using $100 for the FMV price?

it will probably need to be gone over and I will be putting a shift kit in it.

 

thank you!

$100 for sure. As a core, I thing $50 may even be acceptable. Seconds?

I paid Patrick $60 for a BOP.  Is it a 2wd Chevy?

Also you know there's a free manual valve body mod right?

The best way to do FMV is say I think it's worth X can I get 5 of you people to agee.  Sounds like you are saying $100.  If so I'm good.  Think it's more than fair.

$100 is more than fair unless it's a Jaguar then the price goes down to $50.

Well, I bought a TH350 for $80, so $100 sounds good to me.

Now what's this free manual valve body mod thing?

I know I'm late to this party but I wish they $100 anymore... last one I got was free from Patrick, but I still search and they are 250-up now for cores. It's $200 for just a chevy case.

If they were, I'd have another storage unit full of just cores...

They're still hidden out there - we got our TH400 for free, it had been sitting on a shelf for 25 years and the pan was literally full of mud - we have it down as the average of three local junkyard core values, about $30
