he i just got a 62 401 nailhead from a lesabre i will be putting in a 66 lark.........it has all the accessories and im using the adapter for an od and going with a 700r4 tanny anything i need besides that and the modification of the driveshaft and cross member.......what do i do about motor mounts ?
i saw somewheres that you can build your own anybody got a template.......also im right orwrong arent the 62 oil pans the same as a gs
You need a rear sump pan and pick up to fit that engine in the 66 Skylark. 364s and 401s were all rear sump pans in the 50s, but I am not sure when they changed over to the mid sump pan. See if you have a mid or rear sump pan. Start looking for a 364 or early 401 rear sump pan if not. Don't forget the pick up tube as well.
ok i havent got it home yet but i think its gonna be rear it says on a post on here they went to the other pan in 63
I know 61's use rear sumps pans, hope thats a help to you. Let me know how your TH700R4 install goes because I'm gearing up to do a simular install with a TH200-4R behind a 61 364. Thanks,
kool id say the 61 and 62 are the same then cause a 61-62 lesabre are the same body i sure will i also paln to fuel inject it so it should be koo but its gonna take some time
Give Air Ride Suspentions a call, they did a 62 Invicta wagon with a 401 with EFI, surpentine belt, a TH700R4, and of course AirRide. They should be able to get you hooked up with their sources for the assembly and parts. The nailhead in mine isn't going to hang around for very long I have a 4.2L Turbo6 thats being built with all sorts of goodies for the car.
Uh Oh... I just found this...its the underside of a 62 Invicta wagon. Looks like they did change it in 62 or my 61 Shop manaul is wrong.
motor mounts I told you I would get dimensions from my GS mounts. Sorry it took so long. The thickness is 7/16" in most places.
thanks don hey man i was going to ask id like to get a look at your gs some time if im up lexington or your down this way sometime
