1964 Olds Dynamic 88 Engine Swap - Transmission
Hello,
I have a 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 394 with a 1959 Hydra-matic transmission. It has slipped in second gear for a long time. I would like to see what it would take to swap out the engine and transmission for a later model transmission and a 455 Oldsmobile. What type or engine mounts and transmission mounts will I need? I would like to still run the Dual Carbs and have dual exhaust. Could the Linkage cause the transmission to slip in second gear? Can I unhook the kickdown linkage to see if it would shift correctly? My dad always thought it was the smaller torque converter which controls 2nd gear. He isn't here anymore so I can't ask him. What do you think? |
