gearbox options ls1 Hi all i am new here and am from Australia.
I own a 1968 pontiac parisenne that i purchased from my boss(more like rescued, hes a hoarder) and i want to do something different in it. i have been searching and decided that i want to put a ls1 in it, in Australia you pay like $5000 from a wrecking yard for a conversion kit (everything from a vehicle) and i have been offered a ls1 loom and computer from a wrecked car thats done 56000km for a crazy $1000.
it was a 6speed car so it will have a manual computer, i want to try to convert an auto box to keep it column shift. my problem is that i am looking at about a further $2000 - $3000 to get a 4l style box for this motor. so i was wondering what my options are for an auto like a th350, th400 or th700 and what i have to do to set them up behind this motor, the computer will be reprogrammed to have a mafless tune and remove the gearbox stuff.
the car was originally a powerglide and i want to set it up for cruising. i was sent here by some guys over at an aussie site called usmuscle.
all the help i can get would be great, would also love to find someone in the states with a 68 pontiac gto and others as theres some us gear i want to add to mine to spice it up.
