I took the 350 turbo trans out of this car and replaced it with a Muncie M20 from a 67 Firebird. All is well so far. I need a couple little pieces to complete the trans portion.
Its not bad to do. I have never done one till now. I had to drill the side of the block and tap it for the ball-stud. This engine was not pre-drilled. Thank God the crank shaft was drilled for the pilot bushing.
the car is a 70 350 SP code disc-brake, pw / ps / p-lock, gauges and clock optioned car with 69,000 orig miles
I think I bought that hump from C A R S. They listed it as Buick but when it showed up at my house it said Pontiac on it. I will have to modify ti now since I am installing the consolette. I think I will cut some pie-shape pieces out of it to try and lay it down more like the Buick piece would have been.
Thanks guys. I am having fun doing it. I need shift arms for A-body application, if anyone knows of some for sale.
Lee, If they will work, I am interested. I would really like to finish this up. Then I can break everything back down for detailing.
They will work as there on my 72 now. I have to get them off as i'm going a diff route. we're just under snow or i'd have them home from last weekend. Mabey this weekend dependent on the weather. I have pic's of them on my comp & when I get home I can email them. pm your email add.
Are you running the reverse lock-out kit on yours? I have added that kit from Mike garrison. It can be seen in some of the pics here. Thanks1
It's going to be a blast to drive! If you have not welded the trans hump piece on yet, you may want to contact Dave K and get a correct apearing one. He also has all the other parts you may need. Keep up the posts of progress

Thanks Mark. I have the levers/tabs on the trans now. I just need the shift arms. The long arms that connect the shifter to the shift tabs on the trans.
