Hi folks,
A few questions regarding Powerglides (1.76), if you don’t mind…some back ground on my car:
72 stock bodied Vega, SBC 350, headers, holly 600, Comp Cam 268H, Edelbrock Performer intake, stock converter. Right now I have 4:56 gears but plan to go to a 3:73 for a better streetability. This car is a street-strip car…mostly for strip.
-Can I use my same torque converter on the Power Glide?
-Does anybody know of any well produced video’s out there showing how to rebuild the Power Glides? If not, anybody know of some good transmission guys in the Tampa area?
-Any recommendations on the rebuild kit?
-If I did the swap, would that be a direct bolt-in?

The glide is not in the car, and I believe it has the OE shaft. I say that because the guy I got it from said it was a stock tranny...Can you tell me the difference and I will be able check/measure tomorrow...
Crosely,
Maybe I should put this on a bench in the corner of the garage, for now, and use it as a learning lab...I do have the T350 in the Vega, that works fine...I have the engine out for a rebuild right now, and remembered that old Power Glide I have in the storage room. I could use it to learn about transmissions, then maybe mate it to a future strip only car...I do appreciate your input here!
