    Default Allan - how's the tranny in that TBird and which is it?

    I've got a '59 Galaxie that needs a tranny - one of my spring/summer car items is to find a new/used/rebuilt tranny and swap it in. Currently has a 3 speed autobox on a big block 352 - same block as your 390..... Might bolt right up? :trooper: :trooper:

    I'm not sure of the transmission's condition- it's a 3 speed auto for sure, but the car hasn't been started in over 10 years. Everything under the body is in surprisingly good condition though, and I suspect the tranny would be fine after a rebuild. I started to pull the engine last summer, but lost interest, and I never encountered any real rust under the hood.

    If you want, give me a holler and come look at it- you can just haul it off for free, since I have no use for it.

    I will keep this in mind. Probably won't be digging into that project until this place thaaws out, but I'd bet you're in a similar position....

    Thanks!

    yep, seeing as it'll be under 12" of snow come tomorrow afternoon, if the weather reports are correct
