Re: IML: 1963 to '62 Transmission Swap

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

The shift unit on the dash wouldn't be a problem, since the dash is the same layout from 61-63. You would just need to swap those parts out of a 63. I'd be more concerned weather the 63 trans would mate to the 62 engine.

Subject: IML: 1963 to '62 Transmission Swap

Hola

The '62 Imperial has a brake on the rear of the transmission and the '63
Imperial uses the rear axle brake.

How much work is needed to install the newer unit in the '62 ???  And yes I
do understand the '63 rear axle and trans must be used.  How about the '63
shift unit on the dash with the park lever on the side ???
