Tom, I'm a new member just activated my account today. I have a '63 lemans 4cyl. with the automatic. Still have all the original running gear in the car. The question I wanted to ask is the transaxle you are refering to is it a stock or a modified one? I am doing the same as most of the guy's taking out the 4cyl and putting in a V8. I guess the rope shaft and transaxle are the weakest link. Any sugestions will be appreciated.

the V8s used a diff drive train.The drive shaft is larger and the diff has 4 pinion gears.The transaxle I wanted to put in is a special 4 speed auto with a clutch that were made for the 421 SD tempests.The stock 326 V8 drive train with the auto is quite strong.No problem running a bigger CI engine with street tires.The 3 speed wont handle any more than the 326HO.If you want to run the auto you will need your crankshaft drilled and taped for the rope shaft.Tom
