Wont fit Alex, the cases are very different, V8 cast in one piece,(Chev)



and the 6 has a bolt on.



308 has a bolt on too couldnt tell you if the housing interchanges,




but there are a couple for sale on various sites for $200-300... seems pricey to me

Defering to those with more experience

But as far as I know, the crossmember is the same

(at least I hope so as I am fitting a glide on the van that was a 6)

Couldnt tell you what they are worth together, it depends on how desperately you want one I suppose.


Thanks for the panels BTW, certainly filled the hole.

253/308 and 6cyl are the same box but the V8 one uses a different pump and you can't just change the bellhousing over. Plus the V8 box uses the Chev box's extension houisng hence the crossmembers are different.
Brian, that looks like a HT-HG trimatic.

Is that one right Byron?

No, but 6cyl Powerglide is the same as trimatic and 3spd synchro. V8 (Holden and Chev) powerglide is the same as Saginaw. See how far forward the mount is on that Chev powerglide at the top?

Ok now I'm getting confused.. (its ok, it happens often)

The substituted photo (3rd photo) is from My HT brougham and is a 2 speed (unless one gear is stuffed). This has the same mount as the chev powerglide/sag with the forward mount? Am I reading that right?

I swapped the crossmember for the trimatic in the HG with another from a HT brougham with 308 glide (when I was cleaning the bits up, it had less surface rust)and it fitted straight in.

I know the HK has a different arrangement for the crossmember, it used the chev box and mounts differently.

How would I tell that it is definitely a powerglide and not a trimatic? Got the car and while I am no expert, I am thinking it is in fact a trimatic. It is a column auto with L/S/D/N/R on the instruement indicator. Cheers.

Alex, I changed the 6cyl picture to show the round bulge on the side that wont be on the trimatic (sorry dont know the name for the sticky out thingy!!)

I cant remember disconnecting anything from the box when taking it out.

electric kickdown will have a lil terminal stickn up just back from dipstick tube entry.
if its cable there'l be a hole in body in that area

No, it is LH shift so it'll be VB-VL or WB. The code on the plate near the selector will give it up.
