Default Changing To A Five Speed Trans

I have a four speed stick. I'm looking to go with a five speed or six speed. I would really like to get an Automatic and change out the torque convertor and valve body for a quick "shift" and keep my rpm's up!!

I'm running a 393 Stroker with 4:10's. Any Help???

Look online for TKO 600 5 speed. They sell them for GM hookup with the correct drive line and shifter position for our Vettes. I got mine from keisler.

Besides 5 speed kits like GKULL referenced, we also offer an automatic overdrive kit. It is based on the 4L60E and can be made to handle as much as 650ft/lbs. We also offer a variety of stall speeds and the ability to customise the shift points and shift quality via the computer that comes in the kit.
If you'd like more information, please respond or call me at 865-609-8187 x 201.
