    Howdy all, I had this over at the U-shift-um and moved it here to try to get more action.

    Howdy Jon, This trans has a regular spline at the tail.
    I'm working getting a picture but the guy that owns the setup is not willing to let me take a shot/picture at this time. Thanks Joe

    sounds like the late 55 cast iron powerglide.

    I think all dynaglides were for torquetube's (that should mahe Identifying the back end easier)

    strange powerglide

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Howdy, I am looking to find out what a Buick Dynaflow trans looks like does anybody have a pic?

    I came across a transmission today that says powerglide stamped in the top of the cast iron housing but the trans looks more like a stickshift trans it has a square box with a lever near the bell housing and one near the rear or tail also the dipstick bolts to the side of this box. The bell housing is round with a adapter to fit a sbc. The owner won't let me take a picture, why i dont know.

    Sure sounds like an early powerglide to me. The adapter is because the trans was originally fitted to the Chevy sixes, when the V8 came out, they just adapted it.
