Manual to Auto?

[Swanson52]

Yes, I know, I can't make up my mind so bear with me!

I've been looking to dump my 465 in favor if a 5 speed, but now I'm considering ditching the manual altogether and going automatic. What I'm wondering is what I'm overlooking when considering a parts list. Here's what I've come up with (excluding tranny & tcase)

Auto steering column, trans cooler, trans cooler lines, shifter linkage, crossmember, flex plate.

Is there anything I'm missing here?

Babies cry anyway. To the dumpster with the 465!

I take it all back. I've fully fallen in love with the 465 after a little weekend outing.

My bad.

So you are going to keep the SM465?

I believe so. Pretty happy with the trail performance; if I were to do anything I'd add a doubler at some point but I'm good with the 465.

i swaped 465/205 to 400/205 with parts truck i had.

i swaped just the pedal assembly for auto.

swaped in 400/205 with driveshafts and cooler lines and crossmember.

then for shifter i used a lokar midnight series 23" nostalgia 2 bend shifter with swaped on pistion shift knob. it bolted to the tranny and fit up threw the 4 speed hole. and with the 4 speed boot on the floor looks like a 4 speed still.
