Thread: Auto or Standard in my Rod proj

Tweet

The car I am working on has an automatic and I'm fine with that. It is an 80 AMC Spirit with a 401. My first 68 Javelin had an auto in it but my second Javelin had a 4speed and I can say that it was a lot more fun than the auto. It basically comes down to what you want. With an auto, I can still go through the gears if I want to play and besides I do not have the extra cash to convert it over to manual. I do have an extra AMC engine for a future project that does not have a tranny at this time so who knows, I may find a nice 4 speed to put behind it. But if I find a 727 for it, I'm good with that as well because the tranny doesn't make the car; it just makes it a little more fun to drive.

If you have car body foot room and space in the frame area - three pedal it - and since it's on a '32 frame - you should be ok with the frame. Now - inside the body for foot room - I don't have enough with my larger bodied '31 with the motor setback - dammit, but on the next build.......... (does a full manual C4 auto tranny count??)
