Default Hit me with everything you know!!!

Gonna do a TH350 swap from a LT1 M6 car.
I got the trans now what else do I need besides
Flex plate
converter
shifter
Cross member should work with shimming
Wiring will just tap in so no need for a tune
A4 console would be a plus
Anything else?????
What suggestions do you have on converters and flex plates??
Thanks
AC

Flex plate....sfi approved SBC 153 tooth

shifter.....can use a stock A4 if you want, otherwise aftermarket
Cross member should work with shimming...true
Wiring will just tap in so no need for a tune
A4 console would be a plus.....or mount a aftermarket shifter to the floor and cover with carpet.
Anything else?????

i run a chasis mount TA, a umi th350 crossmember, stock flexplate, circle D 4000 converter, stock shifter with stock linkage ( my car was already a auto). I converted the trans fittings to -6an so i could run twist tite hose from summit (rated at 250 psi).

We can custom build you a converter for the swap. Be glad to help you spec one out. Not much help on the rest though.

Is there anything different that would be needed if my car is already a non electronic '93 4L60? I'm already tired of mine going out and I don't even make near the power i have planned for my car. I would really like to put a TH350 in my car. Not to mention that the trans builder screwed me when he built my 4L60. We discussed the build and instead of going with the ss3600, I found my build sheet stating that he only installed a 2500. So now I have way to big of a cam. So now I might as well do the trans that i want if I already have to buy a new stall anyways.

I never thought you would make the switch to an auto Mike... Car should be a blast at the track, not to mention more consistent!!

Its not that really I want to, just its the right thing to do financially, and for reliability. The M6 would never stand up to the abuse ill put it through without huge bucks into it.

Oh shifter showed up today!
