Re: [FWDLK] interesting



What's the problem with a Powerflite ?  I had one in my 56 Adventurer.  Never noticed anything wrong with it.  That car scooted right along, cooled fine.  Guys make a big deal out of the T-flite over the P-flite, but honestly, with the way most people drive them, who cares ?

BTW - the 58 Plaza I am currently restoring is a bare bones stripper - black walls, dog dishies, no trim and monotone paint, no radio, etc. .....  but it got 318, TF, PS, PB, and A/C !  Go figger !

You forgot the rear end gear ratio has to be changed as well.
PowerFlight is a 3.54 ratio and the TorqueFlight is a 3.36 ratio.
In addition you also have to change the radiator as the PowerFlight is air cooled. Add the coolant lines from the transmission to the radiator.
It adds up to a lot of expense…
Too bad it didn't come from the factory with a TorqueFlight.

there's a ginger-colored 57 belv on ebay, or was recently... the 6cyl PS issue spawned recollection of something interesting about that car.. its a 2drht, power steering, power brakes, power windows, 301 4bbl car... with a POWERFLITE!!???!!
 
who chose all those options, if it was factory delivered as such... but kept the 1,2, thats it trans?
 
just odd. all that one needs is a trans swap, driveshaft, cable, actuator, buttons, bezel, and TV linkage swap and its golden!
