 Roll Eyes here we go again .... It has never ever been done , it won't bolt up you'll need to make new tranny mounts, and have to rewire the entire strat harness pcm ecu ect ...add to that making new custom axles ect ect ect

Would $5k of work and research cover it? I'm seriously planning on it.. Mom's letting me get another car so I figure I have some money to toy around with this one Wink

Pretty much listed all the specifics above ... The guy that wa doing it pm'd me constantly with wiring questions ect trying to adapt ..
Took a weeks vacation to help get the wiring done up and got it to fire/run when he tried for a gear the tranny shifter moved but no gears seemed to work... He took it apart to find a main gear/main shaft damaged ... At the last post he sent me he was thinking of having the car hauled to the junkyard ,as he spent too much on the "junkyard" tranny that was junk before he got it

why  not find a 5 speed tranny out of a 3.0 equipped shadow, daytona, or lebaron? shoot while your at it snag the block and use your top end? just a thought
