Powerglide Problems :(

the PG just bit the dust and I haven't saved enough money up for the TH350 swap. Bad thing is that it's my daily driver.

Don't sweat it man, shit like this happens to people all the time. You'll get it done.

Sorry to hear that. That sucks. If you toss something up in the classifieds, you might find soneone that is willing to get rid of one cheaply. It couldn't hurt.

problem is that it would have to be a 55/56 PG to do a straight bolt in...

I got one from a 55-6cyl isnt the trans same?[less adapter plate]

Thanks but I think dad is going to let me barrow money to upgrade to a TH350.

Keep in mind if you had a cast PG I don't think its an exact replacement for TH350
Different yolk at least. Different mounting too.

I swapped a cast iron PG for an Aluminum PG in a 60 Chevy. If I was to do it again, I'd just go right to the TH350. I had to have the drive shaft shortened more than 2", the linkage was never gonna work, so I put a floor shift in, the yolk has a different spline pattern on it, so that had to be changed, the flexplate was different, I had to use a different starter, and the speedo cable comes out right where my floor linkage goes threw hte floor, making it unusable.

And to top it all off, in the end that PG went bad as soon as I warmed over the motor and started driving it. You might as well swap in a 200r4 or a TH350 for all the trouble involved.
