Default Six Speed to Automatic Swap?

Would it be to much work to swap out my 6-speed for an automatic? Thanks :steering:

I don't know how much work it would invole in a 63 but in a C5 all it would take is replace the tranny, torquetube, flywheel to flexplate change and the wiring harness from the PCM to the tranny and then the clutch pedal would have to be removed.

On the C5 it's not much work to convert one way or the other, but on the C2 I can't say whats all involved :cheers:

I wish I knew someone local that would trade with me. I'd swap you for my auto any day of the week

Sorry, I did not make it clear that I have a 1998 Pace Car as well as my 63 Split Window LS1. Any one in Texas willing to make the swap? :steering:
