TORONADO TH425 TRANSAXLE (ALSO FITS TH 325 AND TURBO 350/400 TRANS)

 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.

Ref#9300  Chevy V6 or V8 to Toronado or Turbo 350/400.  Bolts, converter spacers, and instructions are included. Oil pan must be modified to use on Toronado.

 

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.
