Well its been a few months since I posted an update on the tranny install. It's finally in, but I have to admit, it was a pain. I had to remove my...
Good to know. I was not ready to remove my tunnel cover.
I see that the tunnel cover was removed. Is this because the tranny did not cleared?
Thanks everyone for your input. I started removing the rivets this morning with an air chisel. What a pain in the ass I may add. We only have one...
I originally did that with my older 3 speed transmission, but because the th350 pan is wider at the bottom, is hitting the sides of my stock...
Does someone have pics of the type of crossmember they use on a 49-52 Chevy car for a TH350 transmission? I know you can buy a mount but I would...
Thank you guys. I will check that. I do have a good mechanic friend of mine coming over to help me tomorrow. I cross my fingers this thing will fit.
Made some progress tonight. The flexplate is mounted. The torque converter seated in the transmission pretty well. Thursday we will try to align...
Thank you so much for always answering my questions Squirrel. Well the transmission isn't rebuilt by any means. It was giving to me and I know it...
I have the fluid. I just need to know how much to put in on both the converter and transmission.
Ok so I'm making progress here. The converter and flex plate both match. I have the bolts too. Now I need to know how much transmission fluid I...
And for the flexplate bolts?
Good to know Squirrel.
Unfortunately we don't have an advance auto here.
You know about how long they should be? And what about the flexplate bolts?
Th Thanks mrspeedyt. I will try that with my linkage arms.
Thank you.
I found it thanks. I was hoping it wasn't deleted cause the info was great and very helpful.
Isn't working on a transmission swap a project? I figured it was suitable under projects.
Can someone tell me why my thread that I started under "hot rods, projects" changed to the "hokey ass" forum section? I had a hard time finding it...
What's a good transmission fluid to use in this th350? And how much should I fill the torque converter before installing it?
The only bolts I have left are the ones for my flywheel and the clutch.
Ok thanks. I'm sure I can figure it out. I'm more worried about the next step. Fitting the tranny up there and how I'm going to run the linkage up...
Sounds easy enough if you know what bolts you need. I wouldn't know what to look for. Length, type, etc. Sorry 1st time working on something like...
Hey Mark, should I just get the bolts through rock auto? I'm sure they'll be cheaper. Napa wants like 20 dollars for one set. I just don't know...
Mark I ended up just ordering from here in town. I'm in Whidbey Island WA. I know the shipping is kind of bull and expensive but at least is in...

I just got done checking with Napa and one of the guys there happens to be a car guy, old school too. Anyhow, you was able to find me a flexplate...
My 50 is actually mounted with side mounts. I got them from chasis engeniring.
