Re: Torqueflite fluid filling and capacity ??

I have an adapter which is actually a spacer to allow the transmission to bolt on. The old engine had the extended crankshaft, the adapter makes up for the distance. The actual bolt pattern on the old engines is standard small block Mopar. I got my adapter from Hot Heads, it included the flexplate.

I have not connected them yet, I think I need to see if I can borrow a flywheel and not connect the transmission for cam break-in.

Oh. so you just have the 331 Hemi engine without any converter housing? And you want touse a later modle 727. An early torque converter with the startewr ring would be easier to find than a flywheel. But then, that depends on if your starter will match up. And how will you attach the later bellhouse to the engine without an adapter?.......................MO

I don't know about the early ones.

The torqueflite transmission I have is out of a 70's B-100 van. Roger has the best solution if I can find a flywheel that will work.

Hi fellas,

Didn't the early cast iron Torque Flites have a bolt-on bell housing? I recall my 1959 413 came with one. If so no transmission would be required; just the converter and bell housing.

I have a Torqueflite that has been completely drained, both the pan and the torque converter. The torque converter was drained by removing the plug on the converter.

I need to attach it to an engine that I want to run for cam break-in. The engine is not in a car, it is on a solid stand that will support it and the transmission.

Question
Can I just fill the converter through the drain and not remove it from the transmission and if so do I completely fill it or just put in a quart like when the converter has been removed?

How much fluid should I put in the transmission?

The transmission has a spline tail shaft so I was thinking about just using one of the plastic caps to keep it from leaking.

My concern is that when I start the engine I would like to do a full 20 minutes or more for cam break-in at 2,000 to 2,500 rpm. I am open to any and all suggestions how to get this done, I need the transmission connected to be able to start the engine.

Thanks
