I have a 62 Belair wagon born with a 6 cyl which was replaced with a period correct 409 in 98. Original 3 speed left in car. Looking for a heavy duty 3 speed to keep things correct. Was a heavy duty 3 speed available, where can I find one? posted: November 16, 2012       Answers (2)   retiredpartsman      the 6 cyl trans has a smaller shaft behind the splines that go in the clutch.the 8 cyl has the same size shaft as the splines in the clutch.other than a possible gear ratio change they are the same except the input shaft. my opinion from hollander interchange manual 30th edition. posted:  November 16, 2012   smithd7      If they did they would have come in the police or taxi or 409 cars.You can stay period correct by also going to the close ratio 4 speed. posted:  November 24, 2012
