Converting automatic to 4 Speed
Hello,
Question:
Has anyone converted thier automatic vette to a 4 speed?
What all is involved.
and if so what did it cost?
I'm looking to convert a 69 coupe.
Later,
Michael

My .02, but this swap is not worth the cost, time, or effort. Keep your '69 stock.
If you have to have a 4 speed car, trade the auto and get the stick.
You could study the assembly instruction manual, compare the stock installations, and come up with a good idea of what this undertaking is going to require.

Just to answer your question, I completed a TH400 to Muncie swap back in April, and had many of my questions answered by members of this forum. The whole job cost me about $2000. If you're not mechanically inclined or if you're impatient or lazy it will cost more. Just my .02, it was worth every red cent. I have compiled copious information on this job including fotos, a complete parts list, and a blow-by-blow description of the job. Email me if you'd like to see them.
