348 Engine question

[Mr. 50 Jr.]

I have a 58 Chevy Impala with the 348 tri power, 3x2 carbs, setup. the engine stamp confirms its a turboglide car from factory. which starter mount is used ? The engine block mount or transmission bell housing mount?

 

[Don Jacks]

I believe the starter would have the block mounted starter due to the fact that the Turbo Glide was aluminum cased.

 

[Phil Reed]

I thought that the 58 Turboglide was cast iron. All 58 3x2's factory built were TG trans.

TG was aluminum case and there were 3 versions of the 3x2 engine in 58:
FA 280 hp standard strans
HA 280 hp turboglide trans
FB 315 hp standard trans
