So I am working on installing an auto into my car that was a manual. Here is the floor plate I have installed so far. Black sealant u see is Eastwood body seam sealer.

 

What trans are you swapping in? Any particular reason why you want an automatic as opposed to a stick?

 

First reason when I got car it had auto pedals in it. Another is I am building for drag strip and want the consistency. Car will be getting a ls 4l60 swap

 

Ah, I see. How are those 4l60e's when it comes to power? Auto transmissions are too complicated for my taste, but I'm assuming that it's less than the potential of a good ls.

 

Got the shifter in finally. Slow going through holidays.

 

i am new to the site and bought my first 3rd gen. im about to dive into the same swap. i have an 84 berlinetta that came with a v6 2.8 eng and 5spd trans. i bought just a body with no drivetrain. going with a tried and true sbc 350 and 700r4 trans setup. i see that i will have to do the same as you on doing something about that big hole in the floor. using a different shifter tho-b&m- megashifter #80692 for the console. how did you get your neutral safety switch and reverse lights to work? where is the neutral safety switch located on these manual cars? where is the reverse light switch located on the manual cars? please help.

 

Reverse is on the trans, neutral safty Is is on the pedals, typically large purple and yellow wires

 

i bought a shell no eng/trans. found the reverse light switch in the b&m shifter box. located the neutral safety switch where you said it was. thanks a bunch i love this site. been fooling around with this project about 4 years now. im not rich but im addicted to tinkering. taking baby steps. will upload pics of my progress this weekend.
