Back in the late 70's a friend performed a 283/Powerglide conversion on
his
TR3 and used it to embarrass the big Healeys (and a 'Vette or two).
==AM==
Just out of curiosity, do you remember anything about that conversion,
particularly use of the Powerglide box? One of the "problems" that
folks (including Standard-Triumph) encountered with the ubiquitous
Borg-Warner 35 automatic box is that it was so wide and took up a lot
of interior room, not to mention often requiring some rather drastic
chassis alterations. Is the Powerglide narrower than the B-W box?

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
