rayerlease help me figure this out...
I'm swapping in a 360 from a donor truck. I can also swap the tranny if I want. (Obviously they were meant to work together). I don't know if the truck tranny will be a direct bolt in, or if it has any advantages over the original tranny that came with the car, so should I keep my trans or swap it along with the 360?
If the consensus is to keep my original tranny, would I need to use the torque converter from the 360 truck or keep the original torque converter?
If I put in the truck tranny, is it a 'bolt in' swap with the same drive line?
The truck is a 1991, BTW, and the car is a 70 Dart v-8 auto car. Both trannies work well as they are in both vehicles, they shift strong, no slippage.
Also, the truck already has the flex plate needed for the 360, but the car takes a different torque converter, right?
Both trannies will bolt up to a small block, and they both have their own specific torque converter... right? or not?
I just re-read my post, seems too confusing and I'm sorry for that. Hopefully it will make some sense to somebody :banghead:
