Looking at the drivetrain for the winter build up.

3.5L Shortstar- power glide to an Atlas or a D300. I'm trying to figure out how to put the power glide up to the 3.5L.

I figure it's just a matter of time before Advance or Novak makes one going to the Atlas/D300.


So, anyone match up a 3.5L to a power glide yet?

One question....why would you want a powerglide offroad? There's only 2 HIGH ratio (1.82:1 or a 1.76:1 low and 1:1 high IIRC) gears to use, which would create lots of head and basically be slower than a slug with less power. And that 3.5 Shortstar isn't exactly a torque monster.

Anything can be done, we put a powerglide behind a Subaru. The starter is mounted in the tranny, so it can be done, just get out your tools or your checkbook.

What did powerglides originally come bolted to- i.e,what bolt pattern?

small block chev's mainly, the 90 degree GM pattern.


why not score a 904? technically a 908 from an 84-86 jeep cherokee? you'll need the flex plate too, and it will need to be balanced ;) it's a direct bolt up to the 3.5, and the D300 is a direct fit... i paid $75 for mine, and am picking another one up soon for $85 just so i've got a good spare...
