I am looking to put in the gt-40 crate long block engine from summit. It has 345 hp with a b303 cam, but it says its only for a manual tranny. I have an auto AOD tranny. Can i still uses this engine?

autos can be just fine with some modding , and with a good shifter a lil safer to miss a shif obviously , the most breaking newish stuff is screwing with the electrinics of a newer auto via a tweecer or something , imagine a auto that shifts fine most of the time a lil harder when you get on it and when your really on it like wot , ill shift like a full built racing trans slamming gears , since its electrinic it has more inputs on whats going on and can be more fine tuned
