How much money do you plan on spending?

 

damn, i just... damn

 

Not a simple swap but has been done. Check my webpages for info and the adapter.

A possible factory adapter could be found at your airport. Airport? Yes Airplane 'tugs' were buld using flathead Plymouth 6's up to the late 60's. A thick aluminum adapter puts a big block 727 trans on the back. Mine came from the Detroit area, and even with shipping to So Cal it was less than $500.00, just a suggestion.

 

Best, easiest and cheapest - sell it and buy a car with an automatic.

If time and money are no object and you want to keep the original engine, they did use that engine with a Torqueflite automatic 1957 - 59 and with the 2 speed Powerflite 1954 - 56.

73RR has an adapter you can use to install a newer trans, they make them for a lot of old motors.

 

You might want to do a cost trade off replacing both engine and transmission with newer units.
