Adapter

I don't have the name of the company name but you can google it up. There is a company maaking adapters to mate later GM transmissions to the pre 65 blocks. The integral bell housing is a problem on the 371 or 394 engines.
Personally, i like the old blocks. Bullet proof bottom ends. Used to be run in Fuel dragsters in the 50s and 60s because of strength. Didn't breathe as well as a hemi but that's what a blower is for.
The adapter will not be cheap. Less expensive to just pick up something like a 455 and TH400 and adapt if you want to keep olds.
Putting a Chevy in an Olds goes against the grain to me.
Depends on how Old School you want to play it. jp
