Re: [T3] conversion to automatic?

["Bryan Mitchell" <Bryan@inertia.org>]

<x-charset Windows-1252>>>a PO converted the front brakes to discs already, so that's not a
concern, either.

67 had disk on them from the factory.
I have had several automatics and several sticks. It would be in your best
interest to find a donor automatic to have at your place when you do the
conversion. I might add that this is no small undertaking. I have done
several conversions from automatic to stick and that in itself is a chore.
you would have to weld motor supports to the body in the motor compartment
and bolt on an IRS rearend.  you could get it done within a few days with
the proper tools , all the parts and a welder.
another option would be to just trade your car for an automatic car.
Also be aware that as nice as auto trannies are , they are expensive to have
rebuilt. mine was gonna cost $1000 so I just converted it to a stickshift.
Hope this helps, good luck,
 Bryan
