Im wondering what all i need to get to swap a auto into my car. Im tired of messing with the manual and i want to get more into racing so im going for a auto.

 

depends alot on which trans you get. at the very least you'd need a shifter, cable, trans, and TC

 

with that engine some hard lines and a tranny cooler probably isnt a bad idea either.

 

I was planning to have a 700R4 professionally built.

 

Good plan, my neighbours 8 year old was going to rebuild mine, i mean i just couldnt beat his asking price of a couple fudgecicles and a sugar pop, but letting a professional do it is always another way to go.

 

I was refering to having it BUILT so it could hold 6-700 horse.

 

I know i was just joking around. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor . And more like 5-600 horse, 700's cant be built any stronger then that

 

Well then its going to be a maybe if it holds since im looking to be about 550 on spray i was wanting some cushion. You know make 550 horse but have a 700 horse tranny. I was really wanting to have overdrive.

 

Someone else on this board really needs to chime in, i really dont know much about the different automatic trannies, but i think your combo is pushing the limits of a 700 built as tough as they come.

 

Shoot Brutalform a pm. He just did this swap with perfect results. Everything was installed, reworked and rewired and he is happy.

 

Getting the wiring for a Lockup converter could be a pain, you will need a new chip for that, unless you wire it up yourself with a switch or something. I think there are also kits available to retrofit a 700R4 to an older car that have their own lockup controls. Man I just swapped my 700 out for a TKO 600 and i couldnt be happier. I think you should stick it out and run the stick, all hotrods should be stick shift in my opinion.
