but you can't bolt a 350 turbo to the 216
any suggestions as to how to proceed

As to more modern transmissions, there are adapters available to make it a bolt on proposition, you would have to deal with the rear axle/driveshaft issue also. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Go to Stoveboltengineco.com, Tom has a super adaptor system that will allow the modern automatic to fit the 216/235 motors. | | |
