but I do know that you need a adapter to adapt a 235 to a Turbo350
I have also herd that some of the adapter plates were not as strong as compeating brands,?
hopefully some one will come along to enlighten the subject. | | |

Since the PG and 350 bolt up the same it's all factory stuff. We usually found them in 60-62 cars since more people were starting to order automatics by then. You will have to fab a rear mount.

Hope that helps. | | |
