Tranny help...

I just picked up a 61' Ford Galaxie with a 292 wide block and three on the tree. I wanted to switch it out with an automatic tranmission. what will be a good tranmission without having to cut the floor to make the tunnel bigger. I was thinking of an AOD from a mustang but I didn't know if that would work. Let me know guys, thanks....

 

If you're gonna keep the Y block, then you'll need a trans that will bolt up to it, which limits you pretty much to the old Cruisomatic.

Unless you want to pay $$$ for an adapter.

 

How much do these adapters run?

 

I dont know what's available for the Y block, I only know for sure that nothing besides the Cruiso or a manual trans will bolt up to it with stock parts.

I spent a minute googling for you...

Thanks squirrel, this helps alot.

 

Someone in the cl***ifieds section is selling a bunch of adaptors...do a search, it may have been cougardan, but I can't say for sure.

 

those are for manual transmissions...
