I know another powerglide question haha.
I'm wanting to convert my ole big block ford from a c-6 to a powerglide. Is there a special crank spacer or something I keep hearing about, and if so how does it work, and what flywheel do I buy to bolt up the gm style three bolt convertor? I plan on just buying a j.w. bell housing or does it matter which brand to adapt it? Thanks guys. Anthony

I bought a used JW ultrabell, JW "the wheel" and a JW spacer. It allows you to use a std chevy converter, no bastard off the wall stuff.
You will have to machine the spacer as its too long, pretty simple, i did it with a habd grinter and a drill press.......I'm redneck like that lol.
You'll like the powerglide despite what some people say..............

Jon,
Is the Chevy converter snout smaller in OD than the Ford? What measurement do I need to machine the spacer to? The thickness of the midplate?

the spacer is too "long", I just did the math on all the parts and left myself .010 of extra space.
