OTHER ADAPTIONS
TORONADO TH425 TRANSAXLE (ALSO FITS TH 325 AND TURBO
350/400 TRANS)
The Toronado 425 transaxle is very strong, very heavy and economical
automatic transaxle meant to handle the torque of a performance V8.
Aluminum Buick V8 to Toronado or Turbo 350/400 and Powerglide.
The '61-'63 Buick-Olds 215 V8 did not
come with a good transmission. Using our adapter, you can fit a reliable Turbo
trans to the engine. It also fits Powerglide if you specify when ordering. If
for a Turbo 400, the 350 converter must be used. Comes with a modified
flexplate. A Buick flexplate core is required.
PANTERA & MONGUSTA ZF TRANSAXLE
The ZF transaxle was designed to handle a V8. It has the advantage of
already being a mid-engine transaxle with gearing suitable for a V8.
Our Chevy V6, V8 or Buick V6, to ZF adapter is a 4½" thick heavy duty
aluminum bellhousing made to house the Chevy/Buick flywheel, clutch and
starter. It comes with a pilot bearing, clutch release bearing, bolts and
installation instructions. Some machining of the release bearing collar is
required. NOTE: That all bellhousings
can be made inverted if specified when ordered.
