I was talking yesterday to my mechanic and he does not recommend the automatic that comes in the QC because it uses about 100 horse power.


I was referring to this post.............DC Perf flash gives you back those lost horsies!!!!!:burnout: ...........which you already have!!

you need a new mechanic:D

there is two ways of doing this,

one i go with a custom adapter and a turbo 400 about $7000 if ya lucky by the time your done.

or buy a flywheel adapter and adapt an overdirve tranny, and after the electronics probably about $9000 or so.

better off finding a junk yard dog, and converting

Would you be going back to vacumm/mech to make it shift or is it possible to use electronics?...:dontknow:


All the ones I have seen have been just for drag racing applications, and they all used a manual valve body , but vaccum would be easiest to use
 
Turbo 400? Do you loose the overdrive with this option?
Isn't that a GM product? If so now we're talking soom crazy adaptors right?

p.s. I've never seen any proof that mod for mod... qc's are any faster.... I can tell you that my RC was faster than my qc by nearly half a second...

You are right. The mods are no faster on a QC than they are on a RC. Maybe only QC guys have been serious about getting faster to this point. Are all RC guys waiting on Jack to dethrone Nowwhat?

As for the original question of this post, the pace trucks were automatic. Like was said, it can be done it will just cost money. The column shifter will not have to be changed. You can do that with a floor shifter to save some headache. I am just guessing here, but I bet a donor engine, tranny, harness, and PCM can be made to work. It may require a new driveshaft and possible custom component mounts.
 
I can very easily take al the parts from my QC and put them into my CE to make an automatic Reg
cab NR/ CE edition:D

Gear Vendor....
 
They can split the gears for you and give you an overdrive gear. Foot shifter. Just have to cut a smaller driveshaft.
