Hi everyone, my name is Ruben and i have a 57 chevy 4 door 150 and am in the process on converting from 3 speed to a 700r4 trans. The numbers on my block tells me that the engine was made in '58, so i would like to know will i be needing the adapter set up that they sell to install it to the 235? My tranny guy and some others tell me that it should match up due to the gm standardizing the bolt pattens between the 6 cyl and v8s. If i don't need the adapter what kind of flexplate would i use, my stock flywheel was a 168 tooth and about 14-1/8" in diameter, and the flexplates that are available were in the adapter kits only, so if anyone can give me a little insight on this i would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks for your time.
Ruben
