what auto do ya want to use.

a c4 or c6 all you need is the tranny and shifter and maybe driver shaft.. a hurst or b&m or other shifter you can get form summit or jegs.

I'll trade you my AOD setup for your TKO 500 setup =)

It's something along the lines of:

Crossmember, driveshaft, flex plate, shifter, you're going to probably want a trans cooler ran and mounted, and i'm not sure if you're going to need a new computer... i know for the auto-to-manual swap you dont, but i'm not sure if you do for the manual to auto.

You can either keep or exchange your pedal setup, and that's all i can think of right now.

wow, i have never heard of that swap. It all seems backward to me LOL.

These guys have it covered. It should not be that complicated on a 94.

You will probably want an automatic pedal assembly as well (not much point in keeping the clutch pedal) but you could get that from the boneyard.

I want to switch cause i'm tired of 5 speeds. I want to run a Auto with a stall conv and transbrake. I have in mind another Motor for the car. I have reciept's for the tko-500 and bell housing,aluminum driveshaft/steel billet flywheel and everything else. Total cost was $ 2,468.00 I bought all this on 5-19-04. If i come across what i need to put in the car i'll sell everything for $ 1,700

It will hold 500+ of Tq. The driveshaft i wouldn't probably use but i know someone using the same driveshaft in his mustang thats runs 9.13's . but every application is different
