Default powerglide question
I was curious, Im picking up about a '63 powerglide transmission to run behind a 99 ls1 engine for a project Im building. Anyway, I was wondering if you needed a different bellhousing or if the bolt patterns were all the same?

Default Yes
It will bolt up, but with 5 bolts instead of the normal 6. It's fine to run with the 5. That's the way the th400 guys are.

It'll bolt up just fine. But make sure your converter builder knows you have an LSx engine. The pilot hub will need to be modified. Other than that... run it!
