overdrive trans swaps

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mopar hasnt made, and probably wont be anytime soon unless the Direct 
Connection/Mopar Performance folks step up,  an overdrive 727 - which is 
technically a 518 - to bolt behind a big block.  JVX and probably others 
make adapter plates that allow one to bolt the 518 to the big block bolt 
pattern.  You would still have to shorten the driveshaft and fabricate a 
trans mount, and possibly alter the sheetmetal in the trans tunnel depending 
on how much clearance was available.

ps.  if anyone has a donor 518 on hand that is NOT computer controlled - 
some of the truck ones were purely electrically and hydraulically 
controlled - and the $$$ to do the JVX adapters, send it all to me and I 
will install them in my car and do a nice technical write up for anyone else 
to use as instructions.
