You'll need:
A slip yoke to fit the 400
A longer driveshaft
A modified/moved crossmember
A frame mounted torque arm bracket (the factory arm mounts to the trans)
Might have to do a little "hammer work" to the tunnel since the 400 is a fatter trans
A little more spending money since without overdrive the car will get worse gas mileage on the highway
