I believe this was a Wills kit for the powerglide. It is a big car powerglide.

Michael, I am not sure what parts I need for a powerglide conversion. I am on the lookout for some if you know of anyone.

Now that looks like a fun project =)

How does the Corvair diff hold up to the V-8 conversions? With a PG I can see it working but I know I've seen them with manual transmissions.... seems like it would tear a Corvair diff apart.
