Re: powerglide swap

Is the power glide a cast Iron one? All of the aluminum ones I have seen are fine spline. If you have a cast Iron trans the flex plate will probably be different but you can easily change that out. Also the starter would be different mounting on the block instead of the trans bell housing. Make sure you use the starter with a cross bolt pattern with the larger 168 tooth fly wheel and the straight bolt pattern for the 153 tooth fly wheel. To answer your 1st question the turbo 350 yoke will interchange if it has outside snap rings as used on early model 350 trans.

Re: powerglide swap

Here's a pic of the 16 spline output shaft of the powerglide. I ordered DANA SPICER 2-3-6081X, the 1310 Series slip yoke fits the stock
1 1/16th" universal joint bearing cap. The new yoke is about an inch longer than the old one from the powerglide. It rides about 3/4" out from full insert onto the output shaft of the th350. The transmission jack made the swap an easy one man job, I did have to lower the engine with a floor jack to remove the inaccessible bolts off the top of the trans and I didn't take the starter or flywheel off when doing the swap. Now to figure out the speedo gears and the shift linkage. Thanks for the replies
Dan
