John,
I do not see any major
problems with changing your 56 Plymouth Fury Convertible project
over to 62 Plymouth 318 since it will still use the same motor mounts I
believe. The drive shaft will have to be changed since the lengths are different
and the ends may be different too. I do not remember if the 62 Plymouth Aluminum
case had the emergency brake on the transmission or not? If it does
not have the emergency brake on the tail shaft you will have to change
the rear wheel backing plates to transfer the emergency brake to the back
wheels. You will definitely have to change the position of the transmission
mount since the different size transmission is longer and the drive shaft will
have to be shortened like I previous mentioned. Seem to me that it is a lot of
work for almost no power gain. I would rebuild the very rare 303 engine and keep
it stock. After all you are not going to race it are you.!!!! As far as the
buttons working ----------if I was you I would look at the ends of both cables
at the transmission. Talk to someone that changed a powerflight 2 speed to
a torqueflight 3 speed and they should be able to answer that question. Dick who
owns the chrome wire wheel beautiful 56 customize Fury is running a
318 with a torqueflight transmission------you might ask him. He is a great
guy and will probably have some answers for you. Dicwlc@xxxxxxx he lives in Florida,
and is a member of the GFS.
