trans for 59poncho


i have this turbo 350 sitting here and cant decide if i shouldd replace the cast iron glide thats in it. Before i tear into it will it just bolt up to the 59' 283 with no problems? I know i will have to shorten the driveshaft but i should replace the U joints anyways so thats not a big deal. I think i asked this question before but i really have to get this car road worthy in the next 6 months. I figured the 350 will be nicer for longer trips (like mexico) !!

leave it alone,,,if it ain't broke ....don't fix it.

the only place you would see any difference is out of the hole , and medium grades where you'd use 2 nd gear climbing...

you will never kill a glide unless you punch a hole in the pan and drive it for 10 miles...

my 2 cents !!

thx for the input, i wasent sure if it was worth it or not. I was told before they were bulletproof so thats good. There is a leak at the plug but i just have to tap it and get a bigger plug, what i did last summer dident work so good. Now i just need some S-10 shocks forthe front and im good to go!
