John to add to Dales comment.. I also have replaces a 3 speed in a 54
Chevelle and a Powerglide
in a 65 El Camino with TH700R4 OD transmissions. The 64 had new body mount
bushings and the Elky were not... But BOTH needed a small whack with a dead
blow hammer at the Servo area.
NO BIG deal.. REALLY.. Wham Wham and it's over..
I just jacked up the trans till it hit the area in question yanked it back
and forth to score the floor area, lowered it to gain access and SMACKED it
a few times.

I kind of mingled this into my "stupid Chevelle tricks" email but I am also
looking for recommendations for a transmission. I am thinking about a 2004R
only because IIRC the 7004R requires modifications to the trans tunnel, and
I don't want to do that. I would also be happy to be able to use my stock
driveshaft if possible. What about a Tremec? Any recommendations are
welcome. This is going to be a small block car and I don't plan on racing
anybody. I mainly want overdrive for better gas mileage and a more
comfortable cruising rpm.
Thank you,
John Nasta
