5 speed to auto swap

jfor441 · 07-02-2007, 12:25 PM

Hey guys. I got a couple of questions about the swap. I am going to purchase an auto tranny for my car. When I get the new motor in and start spraying it I will be in the 600 hp area. Who should I look at for a tranny to handle the power? I have been to Lentech's site and they are about the only folks I know. Is there anybody here in Alabama that is good with the 4r70? What kind of torque converter and also, what stall speed? Keep in mind this will be a daily driver. The cams I have are the XE274H. I am going to start bracket racing the car.

What will I need to do the swap? I know transmission and torque converter.

Thanks for the info guys!

What about Art Carr?

He requires a core charge

I dont know if they charge you a core, but PA performance offers a lifetime guarantee on thier high end stuff. I think Edgar runs one of thier c4's.

Anyone know what all is needed to swap from the 5 speed to auto? Will I need a new computer from an auto car?

I know for the 5.0 you do not

I am not sure for the 4.6 as more parts may be controled by the computer
