Re: 62 straight 6 v8 conversion question

I'm assuming his '62 currently has a 235 or 261 in it now? That being the case, if he wants to use the original transmission, he will need an adapter plate. The older transmission will not bolt up to an SBC or BBC. It would be easier and probably cheaper to go with an automatic trans, IMO.

Good luck and keep us posted...
