I Have a 60's era 283 and I want to connect it to a 350 or 700R4. Will these automatics bolt up to this engine without the need for an adaptor?
The reason I ask if this is because if this engine was ordered with a Powerglide, instead of a manual transmission, there was an adaptor that was used by the factory to accopmlish this. So anyone know if a modern automatic will bolt up to an older 283?
Thanks! Rick | | |

The early cast-iron Powerglide was used on both the Stovebolt six and the V-8's and had an adapter plate. When the aluminum case 'glide came out they no longer used the adapter and the transmission bolted directly to the motor.
It should bolt up fine.
