Location: Fairfax, Minnesota | I think I finally found a replacement engine for my worn out 361. Are there any gotcha's involved in transplanting a 62 NY 413 and 62 TF into my 61 Newport (Canadian
Windsor)? It comes with the original transmission crossmember. Don't know if I need it or can use it. Motor mounts? Thanks for putting up with my questions on this over the years. Ray |

Location: Netherlands | You'll need the '62 trans crossmember as the aluminium torqueflite has a longer tailshaft. At least that was what I have done on my '60NY where I used a '64 transmission and crossmember.

At least that was what I have done on my '60NY where I used a '64 transmission and crossmember. I am under the impression that the 62 TF is a unique animal- closer to the previous TF than the 64. The 62 has the in line brake similar to earlier cast iron TF. I am trying to make sure this is a drop-in proceedure befor I spend the money. Thanks Ray |

Sorry to jump in here Ray but this question might also help you........
BigBlock,
I've also bought ( still in the US ATM ) a '62 Aluminum T/F with rear brake on the extension for my 413 conversion to my '59 Dodge.
Because you had to use a longer tailshaft I'm guessing the '62 Aluminum T/F is a shorter trans overall than the earlier cast iron Torqueflite ?
...
Back to you Ray.....

Location: Netherlands | The 727 is longer, only slightly. But the transmissionbody itself is shorter than the castiron version, therefore a slightly longer support on the crossmember is needed.

Location: Jamaica Plain, MA | I did this before in a 58 Plymouth. 62 413 and TF from a 300. I had to modify the drive shaft for length, but as I recall most of it bolted up... e- brake, push buttons. Can't remember how exactly I switched the cross member, but I don't recall that it was a pain. |
