5 speed manual to automatic

Hi all,

Looking for a little help, I have a 1989 RS with a 2.8l and 5 speed manual transmission I would like to pull the motor and trani out and put a 2.8 l with auto in it. Is this something I can do and if so what challengages will I run into. I am racing this car and we must have automatic transmissions. Thanks

Sure, it can be done. Since members are pulling V6's all the time for V8's, you might even come across someone who would give you the stuff.

Is there a requirement for the type of automatic transmission? If you go with the '83-up TH700, you should probably get a computer for auto trans as well.
