Rats! I thought I was about to enjoy a "nostalgia wallow" when I spotted this video but now see it was done some time ago and that you`ve stuck with the Caddie.
"She Who Must be Obeyed" is all bent out of shape now, as she puts it, I`ve discovered yet another YouTube "time suck".
What does she know?..........
Keep up the good work!

I cant find any info ion the internet but there used to be a b&m kit to run a th350 or th400 behind a clutch with no torque converter. also I once read an article on how to install the switch pitch setup from a buick 300 into a th400 but i can't find it however it can be done. I don't know how close caddy was to pontiac but 55-57 gmc's had the old pontiacs with the sae belhousing in from the factory

@doberfag Yea, the flathead turned out to be a whole project by itself, meanwhile the Caddy cranked and growled and rumbled and purred at me and I was stricken.

Too late. I've got the Caddy runin' and love it! I am going to sell the DynaFlow tranny, if I can get something to replace it with..

the old timers used to use 1950 olds manual bellhousings and run lesalle trans or caddy trans, but you stated you have a manual lesalle? if so thats a badass setup!

I'm trying to acquire a Olds bellhousing.. I've actually bought one off ebay that's been adapted to a Saginaw 4 speed, but the seller isn't responding to any of my attempts to get in touch, now that I've purchased it, so I'm not counting my chickens till it gets here.
