Other than that, WELCOME.

welcome to the forum i am the black sheep on here with an automatic transaxle and it works great any questions you have il try and answer.

Hey there! I have an '85 automatic too. How did you do it??

tourqe tube and splines just like a manuel .use c5 bellhousing and adapter plate and pilot adapter depending on choice of engine.i used early carbed 350 sbc pressure plate nflywheel and mopar 23 spline disc the only thing you wont use is throwout bearing.tourqe converter on auto transaxle in back on front of transaxle.the only weak link is the mounting plate that bolts driveshaft to tourqe converter.its made of thin mild steel.i reinforced mine with a stainless ringotherwise its a pretty simple conversion.im just now getting ready to put in my 3rd engine that puts out over 500hp.low geared and quick takeoffs.i have had my transaxle beefed even though it was still working great.stock stall speed is 2500 rpm on the automatic transaxle

Wow! Pretty straightforward!! Thanks for the info.

no problem friend.putting my new motor in tomorrow.should have it running by next week.i just posted couple new pics.ill video my maiden burnout when i get it up and running again.it takes of like a slingshot.fun to drive.top end is only about 130 but it gets there very quickly

This would be for the wife's car when it needs it. She needs more cockpit time before stepping up to real power!

you get to test drive it though.i have an 87 turbo im gonna convert next.i havnt drove one with a stick shift yet thats been converted.i cant wait to get started on it but itl probaly be next year as i have a 65 malibu conv. to finnish a frame off on and an ezgo golf cart im putting a 540 yamaha snowmobile engine in.can you say hybrid golf cart .the automatic is definitly quick off the line.with a mild 350 a couple of years ago i took it to a local track and ripped off a 6.88 in the eighth mile.pissed off my buddie with a z06 lol.
