Question on automatics for the Poly
So to try to shorten this post...my newly acquired '63 D100 with 318 currently has a A745 3 speed. There's a quite a few things the transmission needs, clutch, longer driveshaft (3" too short), re bushed shift linkage, no e brake drum etc. etc. So I was talking to my wife and the question came up about automatics and if she drove it, it would be nice to have one. So thinking I already have a 904 in the garage and it's out of small block LA, shouldn't it fit the '63 Poly? Yes I know there's more than just the transmission, cooler, linkage, driveshaft, cross member etc. etc. If so what flex plate would I need, just one from a internally balanced 318?

Re: Question on automatics for the Poly
904 will bolt to 318 Poly. Snout on 904 torque convertor to index into crank may be wrong size, But that can be dealt with.
