cast iron powerglide
I ran into my first iron powerglide today hooked to a 265 and was wondering if there was any use for it other than scrap metal.
Thanks in advance, Ray |

Re: cast iron powerglide
true but many of them don't want to use them even if a restore. they were dogs and when its restored it still drives like it did back then. I know some restored tri 5 owners with high $ restorations like 60 70,000 cars that changed out to th350's but otherwise its factory. They just saved the original trans case someone wanted it. But i agree not much value

Re: cast iron powerglide
before you scrap it, might want to run numbers on it to find out as much as you can about it (year, etc) - there may be some restoration guy that really really wants it - if no nibbles after that, then plant the tailshaft in the ground and make a bird bath out of it.
