Not sure about your numbers though, as a 69 type3 should be 369. But it does
sound like a 69, from what you've listed below.

Yes, but it still might be easier to find a good AT pan and swap it
completely. The next best thing would be to get the rear "sub frame" with AT
attached to it so that you would have all the parts including the hard to
find AT tranny mount, and the AT only sized drive axles.If you can try to get
the AT pedal cluster and shifter with cable too. I think you mentioned in an
earlier thread that you could get a type3 AT with the motor still attached to
it, if so this is a good way to go as it will give you the type3 only drive
plate for the AT. The AT is a very durable piece, and parts are still
available for them. I hope this helps.
