I know this will freak out the purists, but... can you adapt a turbo-350 tranny to a slannty? I ask only because I have a new re-built one in the garage :wink: Having a budget sucks!!! :lol:

Easiest thing for you to do is sell the shivvy "tranny" and buy a good 904 to go behind your "slanty". No kidding.

P. S. - What's this going in, a Darty? ;)

Well, cool then! 8) I still say it'd be easier to score a 904 than adapt, but the overall project puts a different "slant" on things, and now your potential oddball combo makes more sense to me. :lol:

In case anyone can use one, I have several slant 904's free. They're rebuilders, but still FREE. Come pick up 1 or more.

One need not be a purist to know this is an incredibly, remarkably dumb idea. You'll spend a great deal of time, money and effort fabricating lots of custom parts (engine-to-trans adaptor plate, torque converter/flex plate adaptor/spacer plate, mounts, speedo drive adaptor, U-joint adaptor, you'd have MAJOR headaches coming up with a starter motor setup that would work, and you'd wind up with a much less durable, much less efficient transmission.

Stupid idea, any way you slice it.

It means one might want to take a moment, pause and reflect upon its wisdom, yes, it means no.

Uh, Dan, did you read where he's putting it in a model T? :? Still propbably not the best route, but not dumb like putting it in a Valiant or something!

Starter motor? Who needs a stickin starter motor? Bring back the hand cranks! ;)

If your on a budget, it will cost you more time/$$/headache to adapt one to a slant then to grab a free 904 offerd to you (or go to a wrecking yard for one) and have it rebuilt.

Daaaaammmmmnnnnnn!!!! First off: Iguess it means no, could have been stated a little simpler, but....... 2- It's a T-bucket, not a Model T. Really, a T-bucket doesn't even come close to a traditional T. 3- I like to be different. Most everyone runs a Chevy in most " Hot Rods" regardless of car make. Pretty boring. So I will put a slant in my T-bucket. Just looking at all potential options. :lol:

Great to see someone thinking different. You can mate the 350 to the slant but you will pay for using your imagination. Wilcap shows an adapter so give them a call. Heres their site:
