Location: Muskego, WI		Will a TorqueFlite and torque converter bolt onto and work on an early (pre 1962) 318 poly in place of a powerflite? Just curious.

I've heard that it a TF will and fit the PF torque converter as well. Worth a try. Makes sense if you're to offer both TF and PF as options. But the 56 Imperial had the TF option. Only the Imperial did in 56, in 57 all the Mopars had TF as an option.

Only the very last part of The 1956 Imperial Division Production Year had a TF. It was not an option - it was they way it was.

In 1961 - 1957 The Senior Part of Chrysler Division had The TF with every New Yorker and C300. It was not an option - it was they way it was.

In 1961 - 1957 The Senior Part of De Soto Division was the same as the Chrysler Division and The Adventure's. It was not an option - it was they way it was.

The Stall Spec's of a PF Torque Convertor are slightly higher than a equaled powered and vehicle weight of a TF Torque Convertor Stall Spec's. This means
if a PF Torque Convertor is used - The engine's RPM's will be at a higher RPM before it is at it's 1:1 Ratio ( aka Stall Speed ). It also means The Fuel Consumption
will be greater and The Transmission Fluid will be hotter.

When you bolt a PF Convertor to a Engine's Crank Shaft and use a TF Transmission you can "take off quicker" to get to a Gas Pump.

When swapping components take into account the air-cooled liquid-cooled component differences.

Pre-62 swaps as a group and post-62 as a group, but you cannot mix them.
