Guest dutchbuick Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 He there, I'm looking for some info for my 1958 Buick special model 48 stock 364 engine.I want to change the transmission on it for a th350/th400 or 700r4 who has done this and what will fit without cutting into frame and transmission tunnel and witch rear axle will fitt/ has the same track/tread as the original.I was told the 700R4 is much bigger in size but it's a heavy car with a lot of torx.Who sells new rims that are the same as the stock rims so i can still use my original hubcaps.John<!-- google_ad_section_end --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
