    Are these for display purposes, or are there vehicles they will be installed in?

    Have had them before but today only 2 of the Buick boxes, one with a 57 Olds gear in my 31 and the other as a spare.

    I'm installing an Buick adapter onto the Cad trans then mate it to a Chevy bell housing. Then I can sell it. The Buick trans has a Chevy front release bearing snout on it and can use the bell housing I'm fixing for the LaSalle if some one wants to mate the LaSalle to a Buick engine. Both will be ready soon.

    I am searching for this type of trans to sit behind either an early Dodge hemi or a Chevy II banger. The banger has the typical sbc bolt pattern as a starting point for that conversion. Then, I have an adapter that mounts a '39 Ford flathead trans to an early Hemi that might be a start for that setup. What are you asking for your units and which ones are which ? Thank you.

    The green one is the 37 LaSalle, blue is 37 Buick with olds gears. I have not set a price on them yet. The black trans is a early non syncro Mopar trans.

    Kind off a little side step but how much difference is there between a '37 and '47 Buick trans?

    Looking inside the LaSalle box you can see why it was favoured over a Ford box of the same period.
