I don't want to jump in on someone else's thread so a question of my own here.

In another thread a bolter mentioned having a 700R4 to a 261 engine in a 49 Suburban. I ask for info but evidently he hasn't checked his mail.

I'm not up to snuff here on interchanges and have thought there was an expensive adapter needed to be able to run a late model tranny like a 700R4 to a 261 engine. (my 261 engine is a 1956 year) I'm old and my legs/knees are killing me so this would be a great option.

Can someone give me some directions or if this combination works.....torque converter set up. Anything??!!!

Thanks for any input.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
