Trans swap on a 54 buick

I'm sure this is blasphemy to ask but is there an easy way to swap out a dynaflow to a standard trans on a '54 buick special basketcase? I'm trying to find a guide as to what would be compatible. I want to keep the nailhead but I think the trans is trash.

 

It's a pain in the ***... You're limited to three transmissions if you don't want to completely replace the entire rear suspension (which includes fabricating mounting points for control arms or leaf springs, etc.):
Dynaflow.
3spd from a '54-'55 Speicial: 5-bolt cover, gears made of gl***.
3spd from a '56 Special or '54-'56 Century: 6-bolt cover, stronger gears, good trans. But very hard to find.

PM Buickfarmer--he's usually got one, or a lead on one.

If you go w/a Dynaflow; get one from a 56 Buick. There's a code list that'll allow you to ensure a removed slushbox is from 56. Why, it's the best version of the 53-56 models.

 

Brad54, good ****ogy on 54-55 264 three speed "gears of gl***".
