The V8 powerglide has it's rear mount in a different position, and the speedo cable is on the wrong side. I've seen this conversion done before though. |

Hi Mark.
If you swap the rear extension housing from your old 6 cyl Powerglide box onto the V8 one, you can use your existing crossmember, tailshaft & speedo cable.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
