Hi Guy,
Quote:It is most likely possible, but no one here has ever attempted a 71-series transmission swap onto an A-series engine:
- the 71 is much, much bigger than a 60 transmission
- The L- and Z- engines use a different bolt pattern

possibly you can make an aluminum adapter plate, to adapt the transmission to the engine (and starter to the transmission), shorten the driveshaft. You may also need to cut the tunnel of the van since the transmission is bigger around.

It would be easier to install a floor-shift FSW560 transmission. Those are almost identical to the R (column shift) transmission.

never heard of that tranny, but if it didn't come hooked to and Aseries engine, then it won't fit.

the only tranny that i know of that worked on an A and L series was the 63 tranny and it had a different bell housing for the A and L engines.
