I want to put a 4speed auto in the 240 help

[beandip]

I just bought a L28 engine its a 82 that has an after market cam mild for street use, and headers I am going to run SUs the engine is just broken in . My question is that I am presently running an automatic trans. and want to stay with one , but would like to run a 4 speed. The Maxama unit is what I am thinking of but what is involved in making this mod? I know drive shaft , most likely but do I use the maxama shaft and have it worked over or go with the present one . I am thinking of replaceing the diff with a r200 if I do that then what is needed in the way of drive line and location of shifter vs. console top side? Another thing , will the half shafts from the R180 work with the R200 ? I plan on a .390 for the diff . thinking that with the overdrive 4th that and the .390 should make a good cruser with enough ponies to pull the gears. All this is in a '73 . Has anyone here done this mod. or know of someone I can contact t hat has??

I think jcdozier was talking about the Maxima auto swap a while back. Might try him as he may know where to get more info.
