Agreed. Fixing the component that belongs there is always best. I believe the 64 727 was still cable operated, Don Verity can weigh in...

Why go through the hassle of doing all these modifications, not to mention that the value of your car will diminish significantly, when you can just have the tranny rebuilt ? That seems like the best and easiest course of action.

Hello, Can someone advise if a later Big Block 727 Torqueflite will fit in a 64' 300K with the console mounted shifter? I'd like to install a later single pump Torqueflite in the car. Will the stock trans linkage work or does it require modification? Is the later Torqueflite the same length or will I need the crossmember and driveshaft modified? Anything else I would need to know before tackling?

I have no forward or reverse gears and the transmission was whining at all speeds prior. RIP ole' girl....

Thanks!!! James
