Re: 230 inline 6 to a 400 sbc...give it to me straight

If you're trading out the tranny too you might as well move the engine to the forward holes and use the small block towers. Like stated above you will need to get rid of the crossmember your bell housing is mounted to now and get a auto tranny crossmember. You will have to run the auto linkage and shifter and you can just seal up the hole where your shifter is now or you could even change to a low hump floor. Exhaust will have to be addressed, when I changed mine I just scrapped the stock pipes and had a shop run all new dual exhaust. also you will need to find a different driveshaft or get yours modified. Hope this helps you out.
