Re: Automatic Transmission options

["James J." <m1garand@speakeasy.net>]

James,
   D&D makes adapters for just about any tranny.  The question is "what 
tranny will fit in an MGB?"  I've heard that many of the older 3-speeds 
from many manufacturers fit with minor hammering, but 4-speeds tend to 
take up more room.  A definite 4-speed (overdrive) fit is GM's TH700R4 - 
with one caveat:  You need the V-6 version as used in the S-10 truck 
(and possibly certain years of Firebird/Camaro) as this has a smaller 
bell-housing than it's V8 big-brother.  They take all the same internals 
(eg. a rebuild kit) but I think the torque-converter is smaller.  I have 
one for my MGB-GT that I want to make a daily-driver.  Of course there 
is the tranny used in the Land/Range rovers, but it's huge.
   Best of luck.
