80321, Engine bolt on to tranny?
Posted by laoreflxzn, Sep-09-04 02:07 AM
My question is that I just bought a engine that is for a manual and i have an automatic tranny can i just bolt it on? Do they use same flywheel? The engine has the flywheel and clutch so I can just remove the clutch and put on the torque converter and all set or do i have the change the whole flywheel from the automatic transmission and torque converter? By the way anyone knows where i can get parts for the automatic tranny such as high rev torque converter or new light flywheels? Let me know thanks.

Yes.

I used a MT engine in my AT car. I removed the clutch and flywheel, and reused my old flexplate and torque converter. I reused the flexplate because I marked it so I could line up the bolts on the torque converter. From what I've seen, the MT "flywheel" is the same as the AT "flex-plate".

First off there's only one V and that's me, secondly what the other guys said. Your tranny should easily go on after removal of clutch and flywheel. The clutch on the engine now is a modular set up. Unbolt it from the flex plate and put the torque converter on.
