Guest Doctor Dirt Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Has anyone swapped out their fluid drive tranny/cuplar/clutch system for an automatic tranny??I'm curious to know what tranny could be mounted to the L-Head 230 6 cylinder engine! I have a 49 Dodge Wayfarer (buss. coupe) that I'm getting ready to overhaul that tranny set up along with the steering gearbox and was wondering if theres a Chryl. Corp. automatic that would work well on my car!! Any experience with this type of project??? thanx Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbbbbb9 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've got the OEM adapter plate from a 230 L-Head to a Powerflight. From everything I can gather the bolt pattern is the same as the Torqueflight. A 904 would be a nice tranny behine a 230 or even an overdrive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Doctor Dirt Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 bbbbbb9, sorry to take so long to return, I'm having problems finding someone to work on the fluid drive. I had a guy but he's hedging away!! If I can't get it fixed then I need to do something. I was told a 2004R would hook up nicely with an adapter and I might have to go that route. This car was restored a few years back so the cosmetics are still very nice but if its leaking all over the place I'm not happy!! I have 2 guys to talk to on Monday about the fluid drive, we'll see!! thanx Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 There is a guy on eBay selling the adapter which will work with either block for a S10 5 speed conversion. That would be cooler than the auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
