Maybe a trans conversion isn't a good place to start learning about cars.

There is a write-up in the Tech Articles section if you want to check it out and see what you're in for.

Yeah, a trans conversion is a pretty big job (at least it was for me). It took me two days to convert from 700r4 to a T56. My advice to you is make sure you have someone that has done it before or has some expereince working on cars to help you.
