Trans Swap

[zicc1835]

I have a Power Glide I want to swap into my step side this will be a temp swap for now . Currently it has a M-20 behind a 327. Im pulling that and putting a 350/PG in while I do some work on 327. I plan on putiing that back later this year. So im looking for some advice / recomendations for a in- expensivie floor mount shifter. I have all the other necessary parts for the swap. So any help from anyone who may have experoience with this swap or advice on shifters is much appreciated truck has buddy bockets .im leaving the clutch peddle in etc. like I said this is a temp swap for a couple of diferent reasons
thanks
Jess

Temporary, eh!
I guess you’re gonna be real gentle removing the bellhousing crossmember! Those top rivets are a bear to get at.
It needs to come out for the auto trans to fit.
Then you’ll need to fab a trans crossmember for the rear of the trans.

Why not just pull the motor and leave the trans

thanks Gumpy the truck was originally IL6 with 3OT low hump do you or the Geezer know if I need to go to a high hump for that glide to fit?

It will fit the low floor no problem .

Power glides are great ! Fastest trans ever made , Only shifts once .

This is the best Muncie guy on the internet ,

ty muncie guy the kids most of them dont know about the glides Im itching to get it behind a little more HP ...I have an original iron glide in my 55
Ps my muncie will only be on the shelf for a short time thanks for your advice

They put powerglides behind 409’s so a 350 won’t hurt it.
