The kits are complete with EVERYthing. To put it in a 400 you will need to have a driveshaft made as these came out of 55 Clippers. I have the 3.9 axles that were standard equipment with either stick or OD, but they are not suitable for mounting in a 400.

I believe the axle in a 56 400 is a Dana 60 so you should be able to just buy about any ratio you desire in the aftermarket. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Should be no problem to buy an aftermarket floor shifter.
