[FC] SWAPPING 4-SPD.FOR AN AUTO.

[Clark Hartzel]

Powerglides in Forward Controls have fittings for oil cooler lines.  The
cooler mounts behind the battery.  You can put a car Powerglide in an FC but
you won't have the provisions for the oil cooler.

What is the difference in PG?  Clarks lists the same PG for '61 to '65 FC.
Can you not use a 164 cuin engine on a '62 PG FC transmission?

Nothing on the engine but the bell housing needs to be changed.  Starters
are the same. There are two PG, before 64 and 64 and later.  The 64 and
later is for the 164 cuin engines.  All FC with PG had external coolers but
the a car PG can be made to work with an external cooler. .  You need a FC
transmission cross member (trans mount), torque convertor, flexplate and
flexplate bolts (different than manual).  Don't forget the shifter and
shift cable.  Dashes are the same.  There are a few clamps and screws you
will need.  I would see Howard R. about what you need.
