Re: 39 trans onto 327

I agree with Jim that the transmission will mate to a 327, however the bellhousing/flywheel/clutch will need to be from a 48 or later 288/327 (not from the unknown vintage 6cyl) - at least different per the parts book. As Jim noted, the 39 transmission is a bit of an odd duck, so before getting yourself all worked up about this, you really need understand the improvements in design and reliability associated with the later O/D transmissions.
