Who you getting the Tranny Adapter from? Langdon's?
I talked to a guy that was disabled a couple years ago that was planning on doing this cause he couldn't drive his old truck any more, but I never heard how it turned out, I'll see if I have his info anywhere and try to look him up, It was a sweet truck, but I haven't seen him around.

yeah are you sure you can put a 350 behind a 235, im pretty sure you cant. There was just a post about this within 2 weeks and it arrived at the conclusion that a powerglide is the only tranny that will work with a 235. Any post 62 or 63 chevy inlines will though if I remember correctly. Where did you find this adaptor. Could be true though too.

 

doesn't that car have a torque tube ?. if so then it has front mounts and you need side. i would find a later (early '60s 235) because they are side mount, FULL oiling system, non tube motors. you will also need a rear end from a '55-57 car (open driveline).

 

Buffalo Enterprises sells an adapter for the 235/350 combo...but that guy is a jerk and if something is not right he is slow to admit it's HIS fault. I don't recommend doing business with him...IF he's even still in business! Also...I have a 54 235 and it has side mounts. My 54 TRUCK 235 had front mounts though.
