Hello everyone My name Is Kevn, I need advise..
I have just purchased and new half build project and as I have been involved in many VW projects I want to get into a real American project....
I have purchased a Rat Rod and the as it is made up of many many different parts the eng. and trans are an Olds.
the eng. is a 371 and it is attached to what I think is the orig. trans, I was told it was a Hydromantic 4 speed. I posted questions in the transmission section.

 

Welcome to the site. Looks like a fun project. I edited this post since you posted a duplicate transmission thread. Hopefully someone can give you some direction on how to get it hooked up and running.

 

any idea on any other trans to use that will bolt on to this motor ??

 

Not without great expense. Lets see if the guys can help you out in the transmission section.

 

Welcome, I couldn't find your post in the transmission section but with out looking or seeing a picture of your transmission I believe you have a 4 speed Jetaway ( not to be confused with the 2 speed Jetaway which will not fit your engine) It is a hydra-matic and not a bad transmission. One other transmission that will fit is a Old's slant pan Hydra-matic which is much like what you have except much stronger. All others will require a adapter, but why do you need another transmission is that one not working or not rebuild able?...Tedd

 

Don't need a new one just seeing what options I have I would like to use this trans I was told the motor and trans have less then 70K miles on them I just need a shifter for this one and I was told it might not have a Park ???? I don't know how the two levers on the side work seems like the one oun the far out side is the R D 123 But I have no Idea what the othere one does or where the R is forward or backword
thanks for the help here are some photos
