So just a quick question.
So how hard is it to ditch my Doug nash 4+3 , and convert it to a regular automatic? I know its expensive, but really so is finding a another Doug nash that actually engages to OD.
I've taken her to a transmission guy, he says it's working, but it shakes like hell as soon as I engage OD. So my wife whom can't drive a manual wants an automatic. Any thoughts?

I did that to my 84 decades ago because I wanted to turn the car into a bracket car. I did it in my garage without too much difficulty. You need to start with a FSM and a source for parts. Back then, parts were available new at the dealership. A forum search will help too.

Insane? Nah. But what you're talking about definitely isn't sane either. Take your car, sell it, and buy an auto. Autos are cheaper, and you're already planning to spend 1500 on a power train, plus whatever extra stuff you need, plus possibly labor.
