An automatic will need a higher stall speed torque converter, and a vacuum reservoir would come in handy if you plan to use power brakes. There will be a pretty good idle lope and erratic manifold vacuum. A fairly low geared rear end and/or a BUNCH of gears will be needed to keep it from bogging down leaving a stoplight. Jerry
