The best place to find them is on pre 63 chevs with the 235 and cast iron powerglide. It seems that more 61 and 62's were bought with glides than previous years--I guess drivers were getting lazy.

First, auto's need a flex plate, not flywheel- No big deal to get one of these.
Second, motor mounts- When you ditch the bellhousing you'll need to figure out how to mount the engine. Some outfits do make a piece that'll bolt where the bellhousing was and provide mounts. There are probably some other options too.
Third- shifter- you should be able to work this one out- I like the TH350 shifter that sticks up through the floor like the original 4-speed shifter- keeps the inside stock looking,which I like.
Fourth- You may need a bigger radiator and definately will need to install a tranny fluid cooler.
Stovebolt engine co has a kit for putting the TH behind a bolt. I've read they get it from Buffalo and you can get it from the supplier for less= you'll have to figure that out for yourself.
