You guys have it 'pretty well" covered except that the Chvy P/G will have the starter hole on the wrong side & the no place on the dr. side!! Doubt the flex plate would line up with T/conv. either?? But seeing as it won't fit anyway it's "MOOT"

The original trans was the Dual-Coupling Hydramatic, but I no longer have it. I don't want to get another one because it will cost too much to rebuild and parts are harder to find. I also don't want to spend $550 on an adapter to fit a TH350 to it. So, I am thinking about a Powerglide. Can anyone tell me what specific type of Powerglide I will need to bolt up to my engine? Thanks a lot!
INSTALLING A POWERGLIDE ENTAILS THE SAME DIFFICULTIES AS A TURBO-HYDRO. STILL NEED AN ADAPTER, STILL NEED A CONVERTER, STILL NEED A STARTER SOLUTION, SHIFT LINKAGE SOLUTION, etc. THE ONE ADVANTAGE OF A 'GLIDE IS THAT FOR RACING, THEY ARE SUPERIOR TO MOST OF THE EARLY TURBO-HYDROs... IF YOU'RE NOT READY TO SPEND A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS, SUGGEST YOU LOCATE A USED SUPERHYDRAMATIC IN GOOD SHAPE, OR ELSE SELL THE CAR... RICK SR TECHIE PONTIAC-1950s GROUP
