[hellbound]

So alot of the cars im lookin at are 3 speed std, and i got a bum knee making it hard to drive them, any know how hard it would be to swap in a auto trans and use the stock set up on the colum?

I have an "artical" writen by a gentleman in bc that did this conversion himself in his garage... looks like it works, and its for putting a c4 behind a flathead in a shoebox ford... the guy wrote it out for me and sent it to me via email... anyone that wants this, PM me

Hellbound, I'm the one who did this conversion to my 51Ford car and I find it works very well. PM your phone number and I will give all the information that I can. Kustomshoebox if you would send him a copy of what I sent you we can work from there(I'm not to computer litterate so need all the help I can get).

just remember,if its a 49 or 50 Ford the trans tunnel is different than a 51 Ford and a automagic will not fit

[Kustomshoebox]

Now... Krusty is that because of the automatic being an option in 51, that they changed the tranny hump? I know in one 49 that I had, the tranny hump was bolted in... yet, I don't remember if thats the case with the others... and the 51 I owned... it was a integral piece of the floor (not bolt in) and I havent noticed from being underneith this one if it is or not....
