Re: need help
Need some more info... Which engine? What are you plans with the vehicle? Power wise? Carb? FI? ect.... You will need a flex plate, torque converter, trans, different trans mount, and kick down linkage for starters.

Rickey
You need the th350 short tail and 205 transfer case, I happen to have both that will be for sale here in CA. I actually did this swap from a manual to auto. I stressed about it for too long and it was super simple and straight forward. I bought a tilt auto shift column and new Trans and t case, hi hump with only t case hole and shift linkage. Let me know if you know someone in Cali headed your way! Torque converter Flex plate Starter Kick down cable Trans cooler lines I changed radiators to a four core with cooler line inlets, but you could do an external Trans cooler for cheap. As far as Trans mount, I used my original as it is the tease that is on the mount. Of course you can always go a different route like 700r4 Trans Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by beonkey; 10-20-2012 at 11:25 PM. Reason: Added info |

I bought a rebuilt van tilt, so it is about 1.5" shorter which gives me more room. It was ready to bolt in and came with intermediate shaft as well. I really like it and its good quality. I met this guy at Pomona swap meet out near me and he shipped it to me when completed. The company name is steering column pros Steeringcolumnpros.com Posted via Mobile Device |
