Default Making Vette solid axle and auto

I know that there are several running around on here. What is all involved in making a Z06 into an auto with solid axle? I have been thinking of converting mine for more drag racing. Is there anyone making kits or all they all just one offs?

You should get some good feedback from the guys in the Drag Racing section. Checkout Neverlift Racecraft for the solid axle kit...and I think they have a Powerglide setup as well...see links below:

I am building a camaro also, but everyone has them. There are not very many vettes much less z06 drag racing all the time at the track. Plus having a fast z06 looks better for my business IMO vs just having a fast camaro.
