TCI's 350 behind a 330
I have a 65 cutlass w/a 330 and jetaway want to install TCI's th350 / bop. does the 330 have 6 bolt belhousing or 5 bolt? the tci need;s a 27 spline for the trans yoke,and its a 6 bolt pattern, am thinking the the drive shaft is a 27 spline, do I need to replace the flex plate to fit the tci convertor? I know this is a lot of questions but have gotten a lot of miss info here locally I think, so if someone has done this swap would greatly love the right anwser's. the trans is the short tail shaft and needs the trans dipstick tube which I'll get billet specilities, flex tube assy. thank you .... jim

OK, must be a reason maybe something I hav'nt heard? I'll ask around.do I use the 330 flex and by using a 350 core I can still use the stock dip stick then ? thm's converter or the th350 converter, will it bolt to the 330 flex?

I would not waste my time with a TCI transmission.
7 years ago I bought a TCI 400 for my Rallye.
It had a mild 425...13.05 best ET.
(3400 Ultimate converter)
Ran it 5 years.
Then I dropped in my 469....2 years ago...
and waited for that TCI to blow!
11.4 is now my best ET and I probably have
about 2500 brutally grooling street miles on it
just this summer alone...
I know it's just waiting for me to get really far from home.
I can't kill this thing.

You know, TH 350s are almost as strong as the TH 400. I have known plenty of people that just drop the pan and put a filter, shift kit, and pan gasket on the transmission and drive them for 10s of thousands of miles.
