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.
I didn't know him but followed his posts. True hotrodder, he will be missed. RIP 34_40 MIKE. Condolence to the Mrs. Nolan
