    Have you thought of an adapter to a more common Chevy trans?? Wilcap has been making them for years. I'm going to order one for mom's 59 390 to use a 4l60e or 700r4.

    AFAIK the 59 and 60 are the same.
    But you play hell finding anyone to work on a "Jetaway".
    I got a 700R4 adapter kit here.

    Not cheap and not a plug and play; have to modify crossmember and driveshaft.
