Nailhead to 455 Trans adaptor?

Hi,does anyone know if they make an adaptor for a Nailhead to use a 455 bellhousing or tranny?

Thanks

 

Why would you want to do that when the '64-'66 TH 400 will fit? Just curious.o No:

 

Its actually for a Bellhousing 4-speed.

 

George,
Somebody makes an adapter to mate nailheads to later style automatics.
I don't see why it wouldn't work for a later style bellhousing/flywheel set-up.
I'll see if I can search for the manufacturer....:TU:

 

Oh, thought you meant bellhousing or auto tranny.:grin:

 

I would really appreciate it Robert.

Thanks

 

Here's a link to the adapter that I was thinking about.
I forgot that it adapts to the Chevy bolt pattern. ou:
Still, it might be a possible solution.

Thanks Robert,i`ll check it out.

Thanks:TU:

 

yea,but was just preparing myself incase i would`ve lost,lol,hey Rob,when did u sell your set up?

Thanks

 

Hey Rob,other than that stuff i got on ebay what will i need to complete this project?besides trans,clutch,press.plate?

Thanks

 

I'm probably not the Rob you were refering to but I'll give it a shot.
Shifter and back-up light switch
:3gears:

 

anything for the crank that i may need?

Thanks

 

You'll need a pilot bushing for the crank....Carmen Faso has 'em.
Also: wiring for back up light switch, bellhousing dust cover....and trans, and shifter, of course.

Damn! you won that e-bay setup with only 3 seconds left!!!....you have either an extreeeemly fast connection, or a slow one.... and lots of luck!!

Thought you were selling your 66???, do you have another project in mind?? curious minds want to know....

I still need a pedal setup and lower frame bracket for a 66 GS 4 speed setup, if anyone has those available.....

 

Hey Walt,yea i thought i would need a pilot bushing,is it the same as the 455`s?i bid on that auction last minute,you were keeping on eye on it?do you think the price was right?i will PM you with a guy`s email address that may have those peices you`re looking for,if you do not get a PM today i`ll let you know monday because im not on my home comp. for the weekend.

Thanks

 

Thanks George! I'll buy you one :beer if your lead pans out!

For the pilot bushing, this was posted on the Yahoo site:

>>Carmen Faso has them, the turbo-glide bushing for a chevy works, it is a one piece unit. You my find one locally, Dorman # 690-035 ----- Russ<<

Do you have the '66 chassis manual? There's a procedure you should follow to install and align the bellhousing. There are also nice exploded views of the whole setup.

I'd say you bought a nice, very complete setup....it even has the upper frame bracket which was welded to the frame....It's hard to put a price on a setup like that.

 

I never knew that MT models came that way and AT models had a two peice driveshaft. Guess I learned something new today.

BTW, when you can't find something, always check Carmen first, he's got everything.:Brow:

 

Yea,i didnt know the driveshaft was different either,thanks alot for the info guys.:TU:

 

Hey George, would you send me the info...... you did mean LAST Monday, didn't you?:grin:
...I need the pedals and lower frame bracket for a '66 GS.
