Think you'll find a Trimatic will fit fine. As for HR calipers, not sure. Have you got old ones to rebuild?

DR's on the money i think just about any auto you want will fit in the tunnel, certainly a trimatic or powerglide will definately fit

I used to have the same, put in a 161 with a trimatic and its all good
definitely do the front end now though, my old one is rooted and I have to get this HR one sorted.
You will need to make a gearbox crossmember, another option is to buy the trimatic to grey motor adaptor kit and use some of the kit in that to hook it up.

Instead of chucking a HR front end in it would it be possible to just put on HQ front disks instead of the drums?
