Mopar Question

The engine and******* didn't come with any cables.

 

You're right. It looks like it bolts right up. But an other hamber (73rr) says the line is at the back of the block.

I got the converter off of the 241. There's one bolt that is such a pain in the**** on the poly. It looks like the converter has to come off to get to it. The open end of the 5/8 wrench goes in fine but, it's so tight, I'm afraid to turn it too hard and strip it.

 

Has anyone else mated a powerflight trans with a torqueflight bell housing and converter to use with a 318?

 

Yeah, scratch my last post. It might work, but not in my case. Doing so would cause more issues like relocating the cross member and fabricating a new linkage and shortening the drive shaft, that's just from looking at it, and taking measurements.

 

from what im reading,trying to figure out the real problem here,,,, the early poly 318 has an extended crank like the early hemis ?? i have a modern 904******* with lock up convertor,,not a cable shifted trans mated to a 1953 dodge hemi 241 ci,,,it uses a hot heads spacer plate for the trany/extended crank shaft deal,,,,others make the same spacer plate,,,tr waters, hot heads,wilcap,,,

 

Yes, 61 & earlier A Polys have the same bell/crank flange as the Hemis. Q.E.C. (73RR) also makes a good 727 adaptor.

 

My two cents. If I remember right the '59 should be one that does not have a park position. Again if I remember right, an adapter can be had to put a '65 trans on your '59 motor. If all this is right. I would try to find a '65 trans and column. This would give you the column shift to look somewhat correct. A park position. And best of all, a slip type transmission yoke.

 

In 1965 only chrysler used a column shift for the cable shift transmission.If you could find one that might be an option.

 

As was just mention, there a number of makers of 392 to S/B 727 adaptors, that's what is needed.

 

not sure if you meen chrysler as in mopar as a whole,,,or just the brand chrysler,,,,,,but if so chrysler.dodge and plymouth 1965 automatic transmissions were all cable shifted from the column except for the dodge dart and plymouth barracuda, they had a floor shifter with very small console cable shifted,,,1964 and prior were cable shifted via push*****ons,(very kool) a company called imperial services makes a push *****on shifter adapter to use on a non cable trans 1966 and newer,,,just my .02

 

There have been reports of "dificulties" with I.S. recently.

 

This is a classic example of the abuse of English grammar. Try reading the first post with a simple 'comma' strategically inserted....
