Automatic to manual
Ok if you read in my sig you will see that i was going to go with a th-400........but i have heard that an automatic can be lacking with high horsepower engines like the one im building so i was thinking of going with a 4 speed manual,beefed up of course, a 4 speed should hold up to the power. I guess my main question is.....how hard will it be to add a clutch and linkage etc to my automatic car?

I think a manual or auto would have to be beefed the same, with the power level you're hoping for. However you don't have to deal with a torque convertor at all, which I like (eliminate a variable.)
which 4 speed are you thinking of? Super10 is basically your choice I think.
