I have a mark IV 454 with a TH400 in my low hump 63 (it's out right now being built as a 496). It was a prior owner install. The one thing I don't like is there isn't much space between the water pump and radiator so he had the electric fan mounted as a pusher instead of a puller. No overheating problems as a 454, but I'm upgrading the radiator for the 496 (plus aluminum heads) and am hoping it'll sit 0.5" - 1" or so further back with my new mounts to allow space for a puller. The TH400 fits just fine with the low hump.
