so i have done a little bit of research and still haven't found the correct answer im looking for... maybe someone can chime in and help me out a little bit. i have a 54 buick special with the 264 and the dyna slow ******. love the motor but hate the ******. so my question is will a trans out of a 61 or 62 buick lesabre with a 364 motor and what looks to be a th400 fit onto my 264 with minimal work.
No, not without an adapter plate. The only other trans I am aware of that will bolt up is the 3 speed manual. In my wagon I have a '54 264 (originally a dynaflow engine) bolted to a '56 3 speed. Also if you change transmissions you will need a drive shaft and a different rear end/ rear suspension to do away with the torque tube. Ryland
If the trans out of the 61 or 62 is stock, it is not a th400. The 400 was from 64[non switch pitch ] 65-66 switch pitch
ok thank you. there is a guy on craiglist selling some early 60s buick parts (motors and ******s) i just want to get the right stuff to do the conversion without spending a ton of cash or hehawing around on stuff i dont need. thanks to you guys on here it makes life a lot easier for me
54 BUICKS RULE!! I want to get rid of my dynaflow also. Plan on going open drive shaft someday when time and money allows.
yes they do. there is not to many of them in my area.this winter im going to do whatever it takes to get rid of the dyna flow.
