Re: IML: 62 Torqueflite; will it fit a 1960 Imperial?

["Steve B." <Imperial59@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I recall from previous postings and my own queries on the subject when my 
'60 transmission needed a rebuild last year, the newer (post '61) aluminum 
bodied transmission will NOT mate to the 1960 engine.

I can't answer your question either but I also just had the trans redone for 
my '59 (same transmission) and all the hard parts are still readily 
available.  Luckily I had a spare transmission so I had that one rebuilt and 
then had them install it once it was done.  The only thing that they 
couldn't find were the shoes for the parking brake and I was able to secure 
a set of those luckily.  I would say keep looking and you will find a good 
shop that can do this.  Find the NAPA store with the grump old guys and ask 
them who can do it for you.  Thats how I found the place that did mine.
