I am trying to get to the pressure ports on the LHS of my powerglide. I don't have a removeable plate on the hump, and 3/4 of the ports face up!

Here's details on how to slip a SBC with a T350 tranny into a 53/54 Cdn Pontiac. Early years may be similar. Chassis Engineering makes the bolt-in engine mounts and the plates to modify the existing tranny crossmember. I used a mid 70s Dodge pickup radiator which is almost a bolt-in affair for cooling,...
