hey Im new to this forum and being a chevy guy Im actually new to oldsmobiles.. seems some things are the same and alot of things arent. More or less I bought a 62 dynamic 88 cause I needed a car and I got it for 200 bucks. The car is straight and all original, not molested anywhere and everything works. My problem is the trasmission and the fact that it doesnt stay in third gear and slips in 2nd. Talking to my tranny builder he gave me the unfornunate news that nothing other than another slim jim tranny will bolt up
he said if I wanted a tranny that isnt a POS Id have to swap motors along with another tranny. So my question is this... what motors (that you can get from a recycler) will bolt up without crazy mounts and be able to run a th400? It kind of amazes me that every one I deal with in my buisness only knows chevy including me, the BOP cars are in a world of their own. I cant spend alot of money on this and I get awesome deals through the recyclers here around my shop so preferably that would be the way I would go. If anyone can think of a reasonable swap please lemme know this is my only transportation!!!
