Thanks Hnstray. I have been able to locate a hydramatic and the correct driveshaft for the car. So hopefully it'll all work out. I'm supposed to...
Thanks for the advice Ray. Most of my reluctance about the swap is in the crank differences between the TH setup and the Hydramatic setup. Does...
Thanks clunker. That's pretty much along the lines of what I'm thinking. I'm not trying to build a rod out of it. I just want to cruise it as...
My thinking is that I'm going to look for the correct pieces for awhile longer, and if I can't locate them all then I'm going to just swap the...
You're of course right in those points, and that's ideally what I was thinking to do, but the driveshaft and crank differences between the 429...
Thanks clunker. I hadn't come across that one yet. The driveshaft isn't really an issue, I've already got that sorted out. As for the rebuild,...
So I finally had a chance to get back into this thing and have finally found my answer. This car was originally equipped with a hydramatic, not...
See, I've been told that an SBC isn't big enough to motivate that 2+ ton behemoth.
It is officially a 62 series.
Mine isn't a 6 window, and does have power seats and windows.
So with the info I've received here, I'm definitely leaning more and more towards a swap. Suggestions on what setup I should keep an eye out for?...
Glad to see that my confusion isn't just that I'm not reading all the info right. Honestly my first thought was to do a little searching, but...
The shift pattern is PNDLR.
See, that's the confusion. I've read that the th400 in the 64 was a one year only as they redisgined the whole thing in 65. I'm pretty sure that...
Hey guys, haven't been on in awhile and was hoping someone might be able to help me sort something out. I recently picked up a 64 Cadillac for...
Hey all, Never thought I'd do this, but I'm letting go of my 1949 Plymouth. This car has been a project that I've carried around with me for...
Sorry if this isn't the right spot but I'm running out of time and ideas. Does anyone know of anybody here in DFW (Dallas would probably be best)...
It's wal-mart, it's not a parts house, it's not a dealership, it's a bargain store. I've never understood people who go to wal-mart for auto...
yep, looks like another homebuilt sportscar.
This thing couldn't be further away from the car in the original post. This thing really is a shit box with no potential other than parts. You...
That's no joke. I've seen it run a couple of times. I would like it more if it were more "refined", but it's still a beast on the strip.

What's the point of triple convoluted if it says it has to operate straight up and down or it will bow in the middle? Why is it even convoluted...
This just proves that it's still happening. Most of us sit around and scratch our heads wondering what happened to all those fine old kustoms and...
Not a bad price really, but I didn't know slam sold complete kits. Bags seem to be their strong point, not sure whose valves those are...
Nice to see some guys that actually know what they're talking about chime in for a change. Great info Bodi and Hooligan
I've never understood that either. No offense meant to anyone who doesn't run gauges, but I've never understood why you wouldn't. I think that...
It never ceases to amaze me the depths that some of these guys will go to. I hope you don't let that one bad apple ruin the bunch for ya.
Interesting. I like those and it looks like I can find them too. How did you do yours?
Yeah, I used to drool over their webpage for hours, just window shopping, but even that's gone now. Looks like they still update their facebook...
