Greetings
I have a 68 Toro and there is a 76 Eldorado in the local boneyard. I would like to pull the tranny for a spare (looks good).
Are there any compatibility issues with the later tranny (except 2.73 final ratio)?
Many Thanks
Rob

- Years Owned: My first Toronado was a 1968 W-34 with the bucket seats and center console... (weeps gently) It was a New England rustbucket in 1982 after less than 14 years. So sad. But it is what infected me and before I knew it I had another '68, a '69, a '70 and eventually inherited a friend's '67 and another friends '73. After buying my brand new Grand Prix in 1988 I retired the last of my Toronados and pulled the 455 I had rebuilt along the way and put it into storage in a friend's barn where it is to this day.
In Mid September of 2010 I happened to see a repeat of the show where Jay Leno did his 66 Toronado and had an instant remission of the disease which resulted in my purchase of a 1969 in very good condition. I am now in the process of fully rehabilitating it and hope to have it on the road in the spring of 2011. - Location: Gig Harbor, WA
Re: TH425 compatibility
None to speak of. It will bolt right in.
While you are at it check to see if the Eldo has rear disks. You can, with a bit of effort (soon to be documented by me when I get around to it), install them on the Toro.
You should also grab the Hydroboost Power Brake Booster (notable by the lack of the large vacuum diaphragm and the hoses running to the Power Steering Pump.
Even if you do not use either of these we should preserve them for those that want them. You can sell them here, if there are no takers I would eventually buy both.

I have my Fuel Injected Toronado. Life is good!
