    Well its been a while since I have been on here, but I am glad to be back. Car is getting closer to being done. I need some advise on switching this manual tranny to a auto. Thinking about a c4. Question I have are;
    What years trannys will go into it with out a lot of hassle?
    What all do I need as far as parts?
    And does any one know of a shop here in the Phx area that can do it?



    I also wanted to thank ShadowMaster for some really good advice on a cam. This thing rocks now!!!!

    from scratch...I would look for one from any 302 car.

    you will need:
    a trans cooler or auto. Radiator
    cooler lines
    kick down rod
    torque converter w/bolts
    block plate
    flywheel w/bolts
    floor shifter
    vac. line

    ...not sure if starter, trans mount and drive shaft are the same...
