Hi All,
I am accumulating parts for my 318 with AT swap of a 3sp and 6 cyl. Currently, I am in a deep discussion with a salvage yard I found on the internet and we both disagree. Before I lay down the cash, I want to see what I am getting into.
First, its is my understanding that the same 727 AT was used on both the 318 and slant 6 versions. The main difference is, if that AT is bolted to a 318, it requires an adapter plate. Otherwise, the slant 6 will bolt directly to the standard 727 loadflite.
Can someone please either correct my research or clarify if indeed it is the same transmission, and which models require the AT adapter plate.
I have also found that the adapter plate is fairly rare. Is their another adapter plate that can be used? Is suspect you have to use the A100 adapter plate due to the mounting of the starter vs. other models, but not exactly positive on that one.
Thanks!
Miles
