The difference is probably the pilot bore for the dual range hydramatic pilot shaft. Stratoflights do not require a pilot bearing.:wife:

The OP said that his friend had a 1954 truck hydramatic. What does a Roto-hydramatic have to do with the spring issue? Roto hydramatic was a different beast all together.:juggle:

The 1950-54 Pontiacs used a flat pan hydro. The 1955-56 Pontiacs used the slant pan hydro. If you put a flat pan hydro to the 55-56 bell housings, the transmission would be slanted like the slant...

bell housing

Gavin: I was wondering why you didn't just get a 61-64 DC hydramatic bell housing and use that? I have one from a friend in Pennsylvania. He has a 64 grand prix that had DC hydramatic. He eventually...

Gavin: I am in the process of doing the same thing, but with a dual range (single coupling hydramatic) and a Buick V6.

This seems kinda dumb, as Pontiac came up with the BOPC pattern in the first place. 61-63 389/421 engines had the BOPC pattern, but no block mounted starter. Some 1964 blocks had block mounted...

64 GTO transmission options

Curious what automatic transmission was offered in a 64 GTO with 389 engine. Would it come with ST300 2 speed? I know that 64 Pontiacs used both Roto 10 and dual coupling hydros in the big cars, and...

Early 1950 Pontiacs

I know of two 1950-52 Pontiacs that might be available. They are just north of the little Kansas town, Admire. If any members are interested, I can find out more.:attention

Did you keep the 347? If so did you use an adapter? The Pontiac engines from 55 to 60 do not have the BOP pattern, except for the two top bolts.

Second: Front sprag free-wheels due to coupling filled (only...

One thing I wanted to mention is that the front clutch of the early dual range units had to have less slippage than the small coupling will ever have.:third:

The CC or DC hydramatic used the small coupling as the front clutch. The front sprag worked like the front band did on the early dual range units. The rear sprag took the place of the rear band, with...

Thought the torque converter action (fluid coupling to couple the engine to trans) was done in the small coupling internal to transmission? I think GM called it the accelerotor.:attention

Yep, hydramatics all over the garage, and shed too. Can't pass up a good hydramatic. IIRC hydramatics were used in 62 Chevy and probably GMC trucks.

Depending on where the 347 came from, you may need to have the crankshaft drilled for a pilot bushing. The 347 from a Pontiac does not have a pilot bushing when used with the DC hydramatic. This will...
