500 caddy questions
well im off to the farm tomorrow with my 73 eldorado to tear the motor out of it for my t bucket.
i have a question for anyone who may know. i believe i have to use the converter out of the fwd automatic to be able to bolt a std olds 400 tranny to it.
WHY? isnt the tansaxle the same that is in a fwd olds rivy that was bolted to a 455 olds , or is the ringear in a rivy different for the coverter from the fwd tranny.
just thinkin ahead but i am goig to match up bolt holes before i even start.
i know i put a used 400 tranny behind a 454 chev once and none of the flywheel to coverter holes lined up never knew why . had to drill the flex plate with new lined up holes worked ok too.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
