Re: Chevy 283 engine to a 350 Turbo trans
As long as you have "NOTHING" bolted on to the back of the block a 350/400 turbo trans "WILL" bolt right up!

63-80something starter should work, ask for one for a 307 engine from about 1970 with the th350 trans in a midsize car (chevelle/nova) |

Re: Chevy 283 engine to a 350 Turbo trans
You are using a Chevy 350 tranny ,, Right?
Should bolt directly to the block. Tommy |

Re: Chevy 283 engine to a 350 Turbo trans
IT will bolt right up. Sounds like the torque convertor is not all the way in. You might have to use the larger diameter flywheel cause not all the 283 blocks have one of the correct holes for the starter housing that works with the small flywheel. Before installing the tranny make sure you have the starter/flywheel combo worked out.

Re: Chevy 283 engine to a 350 Turbo trans
why do you have a 13" flywheel in this assembly? and where did the 1½" spacer come from? You make it trying solve the problem? You must have some seriously long crank flange bolts to keep the flex plate AND flywheel in there.

Re: Chevy 283 engine to a 350 Turbo trans
Pilot bushing left in the end of the crank, not allowing the input shaft of the tranny to slide into the crankshaft ?
