Has anyone done this, and if so, can you give me some pointers ? Thanks in advance. | | |

You will have to remove or extensively modify the crossmember under the bell housing. You will need a crossmember under the back of the trans. You can buy a universal type of fabricate one. You will need to measure for the drive shaft after everything is in place & have it modified at a trans shop using the corrisponding yoke. Run a tube or hose from a vacuum source back to the modulator. If you want passing gear on a 350 you will need the cable hooked to the throttle linkage, on a 400 it uses a electric switch. You will need to change the steering column or buse a floor shifter. Run cooling tubes to a cooler in the radiator or an aftermarket cooler.

I have looked at 3 sources for crossmembers, but they only have them to fit starting in year 1963 (which I believe is a different frame arrangement than the '62's. Do you have any ideas on a source for a universal crossmember to fit a 1962. Thanks again. | | |
