The problem is that half the bellhousing of a 394 is actually part of the cast iron engine block. Also, the 394 uses a motor mount under the crank pulley and one on each side of the bellhousing area, while later engines use mounts on both sides of the engine and one at the tail of the tranny. If your 394 gives trouble later, it is harder to find stuff for it than for later engines. If you really want to get rid of the slim jim, consider a 455 with Turbo 400 and change the engine mount setup or use the Toronado front engine mount and fabricate something for the others. Changing both engine and trans will probably not cost more than trying to adapt a turbo 350 to the 394.
