Back to the auto trans
Ok, I asked this before and mostly all I got was "convert to 47rh."
My Question is can a 518 be rebuilt to take a lock up TC? I have the chance to buy a parts truck CHEAP. I could rebuild it to take the TC and tear down my truck until its ready. I know I would still have to secure starter/flexplate/rear adaptor from a second gen.
Second question is what controls lockup? I dont want a toggle switch in the dash or anything like that, I want lockup/unlockup to happen automatically on its own.
I would consider doing a manual swap if I could find the donor truck.

Don't quote me on this but I think the 518 can be built for lockup but it's not worth the money or time.
And I remember reading that you can rig it up for where lockup runs off the gov. weights in the trans or something like this so there is no toggle switch.
