Re: [FWDLK] 1961 newport w/392 Hemi?

I don't know about the 61 transmission, but there's a good possibility 
there. You would probably need the seperator plate from the 392 and the 
transmission from a Poly powered car (bolt pattern on a big block is 
different). Does anyone know when they went from the extended crank flange 
to the current style? That would be your other big hickup.
You could always acquire a 727 that came behind a 392 (I can probably help 
you out there, as my brother has one still in the original packaging, a '57 
Imperial parts car).

I know that adapters are readily available to connect a 392 to a small block 
727 from 62-up, which would include the A518 overdrive version. Among the 
places that would carry them are PAW and Bob Mazzolini.
