Re: Automatic Transmission

More searching brings this up that says it will work with a 216 but you would want to be sure and tell them exactly what you have. https://transmissionadapters.com/col...e-transmission

With that a fresh rebuilt glide or 350 trans, new drive shaft and a proper rear axle you are probably looking at 1500 to 2000 to do the swap. More if you have to pay someone to do it.

I'd call Tom Langdon and ask him about the adapter and why he says it won't work with a 216 though. He is a world of knowledge on this sort of thing.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
