Well, I finally got the transmission project done on the 52 Mayfair with the 374 V8 and it only took two years! My tranny guy was able to get a TH700 so I bought the conversion kit from Bendtsen in Ham Lake, MN. I got the car back about a month ago and I have to say I am very pleased with it. That overdrive gear makes all the difference. I can feel it kick in at about 50 mph and the car keeps up with traffic, and doesn't work very hard doing it.
I have put several hundred miles on it and it works great. Time will tell...
