1960-inline 6

My first post folks:
I am about to buy an ultra clean 60 model short stepside, with granny 4 spd, and inline 6. Can anyone tell me if any of the late model automatic overdrive trannys will bolt up without a special adapter??? I haven't seen the truck yet, but have the word of someone I trust. I am assuming the eng is the old 235, blueflame 6, but not sure. Any help appreciated

Jason,
Is the 2004r a direct bolt up to the 250??? Swapping to a 250 from the stock 235 shouldn't be too tough.

The trans bolts up to the 250 no prob, the 200-4r uses the BOP/Chevy bolt pattern. You just go to workout the TV detent hookup on the carb if you run in stock form.

I have a 200-4r in mine with a 350. The easy way to do it is to run a non-lockup torque converter.

Re: 1960-inline 6

think that a 2 speed powerglyde is a direct bolt up. love those old inlines. so much torque and notoriously tough to kill.

Re: 1960-inline 6

Welcome from NM. Later model tranny's on older sixes require an adapter. On the later 230's, 250's and 292's, the newer tranny's will bolt up directly.

Re: 1960-inline 6

TOMSRIV:
350/2004r sounds like a good combo, but if you use a non lockup converter, be careful of your rear end ratio/converter relationship. If your engine rpm while cruising is lower than your stall on the converter, it will slip constantly , and fry everything. If this happens, the solution is to go back to a lockup with some stall, if you are going to hot rod, and install a simple switch to disable the lockup while racing, and switch it back on for cruising.
