<VV> Engine to Transmission questions

[Harry Yarnell]

To my knowledge, all Corvair torque converters are the same. Is the 102 a 
stick motor? Perhaps you forgot to remove the pilot bushing. Rust in the 
crank hole and on the torque conv. nub may  be causing a binding.

Subject: <VV> Engine to Transmission questions


I'm trying to mate a 102 hp engine to a late-model powerglide transmission. 
The short shaft on the torque converter does not fit into the hole on the 
crankshaft gear, though. The hole is simply too small for it. My question 
is: Were torque converters different from early to late? Or can you just not 
mix and match engines and transmissions? If torque converters were different 
from early to late, could I use an early torque converter with my late 
powerglide?
