I mixed the perch/rubber mounts on a car with headers and the headers wouldn't fit. I had used this engine with these headers in a different car and they fit fine, so it took me a while to figure out what I did wrong! I've made the swap from TH350 to TH400 several times and always had to change the driveline to a shorter one. Check your trannies again to see what they are. They should have both been short tailshaft versions for the A-body car, but if someone put a long tailshaft TH350 in that might make them closer in length, I don't know, I've never compared the TH350 long to the TH400 short tailshafts.
