Anonymous OP Unregistered A	Hello, this is my first post here. My father just bought a '55 Belvedere that we are going to be doing some major surgery to . The car in the pic isn't his, but it is in very good shape. We are going to rod it a bit, it will get a 300C interior and a a 472 HEMI. Do any of you know if there is a electronically controlled overdrive tranny that will bolt up to the HEMI and survive?

Another alternative is the GM based Keisler automatic transmission. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I agree, Fords are 2nd on my list after my Mopars. Oh and an e-body 8 3/4 will bolt right in where that old style sissy one is. Did a 56 Desoto a year or so ago and put 4 wheel disc brakes on it too.
