I want to swap in an auto, but it needs to be an overdrive 4L60 or 80? I don't want to have to swap out the computor or harness so I am trying to find out if I can use a full manual VB and a manual switch to lock up the convertor. Any opinions?/ideas?

i've done the auto conversion. You HAVE to swap the harness if you're going to put in an auto. The motor/tranny harnesses are one with the other and you just unplug everything from the old one and put in the new one. It's not to bad, takes about an hour and a half. - do that part after the M6 is out. You're goign to have a hole where the shifter was at and where the clutch was. You can just weld up plates there from the inside of the car if you're careful. I'm sure you can use a manual vb, and manual lock up switch, but i dont know who makes them etc. Personal advice, sell your tranny out right and buy another outright unless its from a friend. Otherwise, it will cost you extra...

I figured by putting the full manual and a manual lock up switch, I would not need the computor for the auto as there would be nothing left for the ECU to do. Like when guys swap in a TH400 they just leave the 6 speed ECU. If I am way off base here let me know, my experiance is with older carbed non-computor cars.

You could be right, I can't remember if there are only two plug ins in the tranny or three. For some reason i was thinking there were three. It's one of those thigns you don't really think about it when you pull stuff in and out all the time You may beable to get away with it though.

Solid Roller SBC is going to be around 4XX cubes probably. NOS Big Shot, prolly around the same size shot you use

Nothing is set in stone yet, other than the place building it, which is Dominant Motorsports.

I had 4.10s in my 10 bolt. I sprayed out of the hole, on a slick, with a 2.8 str converter, and they held up fine
