I have a 41 Buick 320 with manual tranny. I have a chance at a 51 Pontiac 268 Hydramatic. Does anyone know if they will mate up ?

Other than the open driveline issue, can a Powerglide be adapted to the Dynaflow's bellhousing?

Anything can be adapted to anything if you have enough money to throw at the problem. The question is, what year powerglide to which Buick, and why do that in the first place? Of all the automatic transmissions around, Dynaflow and Powerglide are two of the most inefficient I can think of, particularly in their formative years. If you're going to adapt anything, I'd certainly use a Hydramatic over the other two; and something later than the early fifties at that.
