thanks richard,

did you have to install a heater and 2 speed wipers when you did the conversion to the 186?

if so, do you know of any suitable doner cars for these parts,

also did you replace the whole floor, or could you just cut and weld around the existing floor to fit the auto?,

i started thinking damn i should have left this car stock, but after spending a small fortune on the front end and brakes, i decided the bigger 6 and the auto were the way to go... to late to turn back now  

hey anyone out there who plays around with V8's, i've also got a 600 holley with adaptor plate and a few other V8 bits off a HQ for sale, if anyone is interested leave me a message.

Just wondering if anyone can provide any advice on the fitting of a powerglide or trimatic to an FC, have changed the front end, now running LX torana disks, and HR rear drums, installed brake booster and have a 186 ready to fit, havent yet got an auto box, seeking advice on whats the better way to go? trimatic or powerglide? which one is easier to fit, am i going to have dramas fitting the auto? does the floor need to be cut? do i need a custom xmember?
any help would be greatley appreciated.
