Re: Converting to automatic from 3 speed help

If you use a "short tail shaft" 350 turbo transmission, the driveshaft you have will work. The 3 speed yoke will also work in the turbo 350.

Re: Converting to automatic from 3 speed help

he said he had a floor shifter. He can just cap over the column shifter. Sounds like you have it covered. Is the starter the same? just wondering.

Re: Converting to automatic from 3 speed help

the starter is different. 3 speed the starter bolts to the bell housing, th350 the starter bolts to the engine block. dont forget trans mount, dipstick tube, kickdown cable, fluid, and converter to flexplate bolts. good luck.
