powerglide to th350

[mgold97]

Will be swapping out old powerglide for 72 th350 next weekend. Its 9inch tail th350 and everything should bolt up fine, but I am concerned about shifter linkage between Pg and th350. Will they swap over or will I have to by one of them lokar kits?

If memory serves the linkage is the same.

[mgold97]

How is it possible is one is 2 speed and th350 is 3 speed?

Any pictures would help

The detents for the gears are in the tranny not the linkage. You will need to replace your shift map for it to match but the linkage will work. I am of course assuming column shift, some early floor shifters (in cars) have detents built into them.

Thank you and I will give it a shot.

P.S Do you know if i swap a trans out of 72(th350) into 84(powerglide)which cooler line should I use for 72 or 84 ?

THIS IS THE MOST HELPFUL FORUM online.

I wasn't even aware they still made glides in 84, the cooler lines should be the same. In preparation for the swap I would just go under it and make sure they hook into the same place. If they are quick connects then you would need to use the tranny fitting off of the glide. I would also have the 72 lines handy incase my info in incorrect you can swap them at the last minute, but I am 99% sure I'm right.

Get the throttle / kick down cable bracket as well. Other wise a bolt in deal.

Definitely didn't have a powerglide stock in there in 1984.
They were already updating the 3 speeds to the new 700R4 by then.
Think the powerglide was already out by 1970 or so and replaced by the
turbo 350.

Its a 67 powerglide. It was in a truck when I bought it and mated to tired old 305. I just swapped crate 350 in it and going with th350 9" tail for simplicity and lack of wires and sensors.

Do you guys thinks linkage and cooler lines will work?

[KQQL IT]

Other than the kickdown cable/throttle bracket yes.

It already has that bracket on it, with only throttle cable attached(with powerglide in it). I assume it had th350 in it at some point.

Thanx for all of your input again.

P.S now just hope my driveshaft fits lol
