Ideally looking for a rusty complete hk with a 186 or chev with powerglide, my car is originally a powerglide car and would like to keep it that way. Would consider a ht/g but was hoping to use other hk parts on the project, thanks

6cyl powerglide and V8 Chev powerglide are very different boxes in mounting and linkages. HT 253/308 powerglide are a bitsa, use Chev powerglide rear housing and linkages but 6cyl case and internals.

Yes, that is the standard configuration for 307 auto for all HK-HT except GTS. If it was me fitting a Chev into an original 6cyl auto car i'd use a TH350, will fit where a V8 powerglide fits, and you just use an aftermarket kickdown cable off the carby. Will also need a V8 powerglide crossmember, tailshaft and V8 banjo centre (or yoke). You can operate it using a HT-HG trimatic column and a bit of mucking around with a HZ-WB column shift crossover setup operated by the HT-HG rod off the column. GMH didn't use the 6cyl HD-HT powerglide crossover setup for V8's I think because it interfered with the V8 exhaust on the driver's side. V8 crossover was at the rear of the powerglide.
I have also heard of people using a cable setup off the column.

Never really liked driving a 2 speed auto. Plus powerglides are getting harder to get in Australia and cost more, TH350's are a lot cheaper to buy and seem to be cheaper to overhaul. I get using the 'glide as part of a dead stock resto, but if you are upgrading to a V8 a TH350 works just as well.

TH350's from the US are easier to find though Frank, they were used until the 80's.

Hey guys still looking for the above gear, thanks
