I purchased a '60 235 Blue Flame Six to install in my '50 1/2 ton. What are the chances of mating this engine w/ a 700R4? Is it possible? Do the bolt patterns match up? If not, is there a kit that converts it? I know I will need a different cross member and rear diff. to accept the driveshaft....but are there any other obstacles that I may run into? thanks in advance.

This is critical on this trans. It has to be right. You will need a cooler in the radiator or an auxiliary cooler. You will need a shifter, either a later model column or an aftermarket like Lokar.

Pics would be nice if you have done this before.

34-35 trucks are the greatest

throttle valve cable that is attached to the trans and the linkage on the carb. There is a couple of bowtie sites that explain it | | |
