Help from the Caddy Hydramatic gurus...

Hey guys, I have a 48' 346 Caddy Flatty and might have the opportunity to come up on a tranny from a '57 Coupe De Ville... I'm almost 99% positive that those came with the auto hydramatic, but what I'm not sure of is will it mate to my 346? Also, this might be a dumb question but, would I HAVE to have the column to run it or can I fab up a shifter for the auto (if that makes any sense)? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

 

No one? No one at all? My searches are coming up EMPTY!

Thank you sir! I'll contact him ASAP!

 

Will not fit.

 

Crap... Ok man, thanks. So stay away from controlled coupling hydras then, I take it? '56 and after?
