old-tank Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Also wondering if you need a 56 crossmember (that the trans mount and thrustpad attach) or can you use a 55? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Seems enough modifying is being done that this is the right place for it but yea, could be of interest to both post and prewar also so I have posted some links in each directing folks here. (Actually the P/M forum needs all the traffic and onlookers it can get)Would love to have a 56 dflow in my Century for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasJohn55 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I put a '56 dynaflow in my '55 Special. I removed it from my '55 Century parts car! Then found out it was a 56 trans with alum bell hsg and 1" longer. Install in the 55 Special was routine, only slotted some holes and used same crossmember. The '56 ujoint will need to be replaced with the '55 to mate with driveshaft. Edited February 3, 2016 by TexasJohn55 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasJohn55 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 2carb40, Actually my rear wheels look to be centered in the wheel wells and an inch forward would look odd in my mind. I don't recall any other areas of concern, it just moved everything back 1". The extra length of the '56 trans over the 55 is the bell hsg (and corresponding converter).

Joseph P. Indusi Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 2carb40:I also have heard that the 53 Series 40 bell housing will bolt up to earlier straight eight engines and allow the use of the 1953 Series 40 Twin Turbine Dynaflow instead of the earlier 1948-52 units. However, I am not sure that the 53 Series 50 & 70 Twin Turbine Dynaflows and later Dynaflows for the V-8's will be a good match to the straight eight engines. Please report here if you hear of anyone who has used the later Dynaflows with the straight eight engines.A very interesting thread with much good information. Thanks for posting.Joe, BCA 33493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 You did it right. I usually stretch bolts and shafts with pipe or tubing of the same inside diameter and braze....then try to hide it from prying eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
