Hello all! I have a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook that I recently finished restoring and have been driving around. After getting it on the road, I quickly realized the draw of an overdrive transmission, which my calculations show would give an estimated ~20 mph increase in range.(Which would be basically necessary where I live) I have had trouble finding an overdrive trans for a good price, it have recently found someone selling one nearby for $700. I was just interested if anyone was more knowledgeable about overdrives and could help give me some direction on exactly what needs to be changed, added, modified, etc. I know I will have to modify the electricals, but I’m not completely sure of “what” and “why” past what I found in my manual. Also wondering if the transmission is a complete swap in, or if I will need to modify things like driveshaft length and things like that. I am talking to the seller about looking at it and possibly purchasing it Saturday, so I would really appreciate any information, tips, and advice before then!!! Thanks!!!

I'm going to do a mild "period" rod of my '41 Plymouth 2 door sedan. I've picked up a good 230 from a '52 Dodge, have an Offy intake and split exhaust for it, with an Edgy head to be purchased in the near future.I have started to consider adding a Borg Warner overdrive to the swap. There is an overdrive out of a '39 Chrysler (which is tagged "bolt patten changed for '34 Plymouth") available near me. Anyone have any thoughts on how (or if) I could get this random assortment of driveline components to work?
