Yes and no. If you have a B/RB 727, no problem. If you have an A series (318, 340, 360) small block engine 727, it don’t fit.

Subject: [FWDLK] '59 RB383 and Aluminum Torqueflite??

I was asked today if a 70's vintage 727 aluminum Torqueflite will bolt up to a '59-'60 vintage RB383 engine as found in a Windsor or Saratoga.

I know the 8-stud crank will need to be swapped out for a post-1962 6-bolt crank.

Will the trans otherwise bolt to the block?

Thanks,
