going to put a powerglide back in for accuracy sake, how many different versions of this trans for the ss model before I go looking for one. thanks for your help
Especially aluminum PG. Cast irons, probably easier to come by, but who will pay the shipping?I have no idea about the numbers,but get one from behind a v8.Have it rebuilt for street/strip with hd bands and clutches,a shift kit,and about 2,000 rpm stall convertor.The 62 thru mid 63 had the rear pump,mid 63 thru 73 did not.A PG from behind a smallblock is going to be the easiest to find.Many of these what used to be "throw away" transmissions have found their way into drag cars,making core kinda scarce as well as often pricey.
Just wondering, but could you actually get a powerglide behind a BB 396?? I would think by '69, a TH350 or TH400 would have been the offering, not a powerglide. Feel free to correct me, Carmine.located a 2 speed from a 69 396 car apparently? will it bolt up to my 409 ok and is there a shaft size(is this important) that would verify it being a BB trans?
