64 sedan

[thom]

I am getting a 64 4-door sedan from a good friend who removed the engine & transmission 2 or 3 years ago to use in his 57 Hawk. I have a small-block Chevy & 400 transmission I plan to put in the 64. I hope to install them without any surgery on the car. I know 65 & 66 models came with Chevy engines , but not with 400 transmissions. Where can I find pictures of 65 or 66 motor mounts? The car is in very good condition except vandals broke out the rear window.Other than the engine , trans ,radio , & rear glass the car is complete. I will be seeking help with this undertaking on here.Thanks.

The 400 is a big trans and probably won't fit without some surgery on the floor. I'd go with a Turbo 350, a 700R4, a 200-4R, 4L60 and a 4L60E.

Thom, I'd go with the Turbo 350 if your #1 concern is durability. Never had a moment's problem with them. The 200, forget it. With even a non-hopped-up Olds 307 V8, I had nothing but trouble in my Cadillac Brougham. The later 4L60 is an OK choice, too, if you want overdrive.

The TH2004R that Tom mentions is not the TH200. The TH200 was a good trans...behind a 4 or small 6. GM goofed big time putting it behind a V8. They didn't last long [xx(].

The TH2004R, OTOH, is quite strong in stock form. It was behind the turboed Grand National Buick (Corvette killer). It can hold over 600HP with minor mods. In addition, it's got a nice 4th gear OD, better gear spread than the TH700R4/4L60E, is a smaller package, and fits where a TH350 or Powerglide fit. 41Frank has one behind the warmed up R2 in his 41 Champion and races it regularly.
