I JUST COMPLETED THE SAME SWAP ON MY 62 G-P. I USED A SHORT TAIL TH 400 AND HAD TO RELOCATE THE CROSS MEMBER PLUS LENGTHEN THE DRIVESHAFT.ALSO MINOR FLOORPAN MODS USING A BFH. A VERY EASY JOB.

Bolts right in.
However, The stock Roto Hydromatic will last bout 5 min behind it. Best to also swap in a TH400 or the Bonnieville Hydro. Or find a Stick setup for your car.

It's been several years but I remember it as noted by wolfs63. No big deal!

I just made the same change in my 62 Catalina. Use the 389 mounts-it will bolt right up. Go to NAPA and buy mounts. They are about $10.00 a mount. You don't want to use 43 year old mounts. The crossmember will take some creative thinking. Bill

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
