I've got a fully programable stand-alone ATS valve body that would help you out a lot

all you should need is the bracket that goes on top of the rubber mount for the crossmember. it bolts to the rubber mount and the transmission. are you going to run the heat exchanger that is normally mounted under the turbo on the auto trucks? i have that and the lines. what about the steering column? drive shaft. and yes TPS.

A tow truck on stand-by might also be advisable. After all the posts on these lousy automatics, why would you want to convert over to one???

Because for about $3200 you can have one with a 100k warranty no matter the HP(except the shafts). Find a manual/clutch with a 100k warranty for that cheap. Also; my converter has a lifetime unlimited power warranty. Think you can find a clutch with that warranty for $1200?
