Re: [FWDLK] MORE INSIGHTS~ QUESTIONS ON WHATZIT WORTH



Just a reminder to my 57/58 Dodge and other forward lookers, this car is fur sale, MagnumGirl thinks if I want one, to buy one that runs under it's own power.

It can be had fur < $1000.

Generally, guys who ditch the iron TF either round up the '62 aluminum case with the drum on it, or change the rearend out for a later one with provisions for a regular parking brake, and dump the tapered axle rear. That makes brake service a bunch easier, and generally the newer brakes are superior to the originals. Seems to me that setting up the trans case parking brake is somewhat of a pain and the parts aren't that easy to find, as well.

Trouble there is the bolt-in for the 60-62 cars is the 70-74 Cuda rearend - even the one-leggers with high gear ratios for those cars bring pretty good money. I'm not sure what works in the 55-56 and 57-59 cars, if there is a later model Mopar (or even Ford, blasphemy I know, but the wheel bolt pattern is the same) that's a direct bolt-in, or if you have to move the perches on the housing. (I'm sure one can be found that's the right width).

OK guys, got some questions, especially for those who've done
later-model drivetrain conversions.

I have a cast-iron 57 torqueflite tranny, so can, say a 78 318, be =
bolted via
adapter, to the old torqueflite?

Or, an older 50's Hemi be bolted to a later t-flite? Are there adapters =
to use a pushbutton selector on a later t-flite?

How does one use the old drum E-brake if you use a later t-flite?

Thanks
