| hi stallys are possible, but the gemi autos dont tend to take the stress of megashifters. |

| The shifters are quite easy except for the wires, I wouldnt worry about a hi-stall unless the engine is very powerful. |

| "but the gemi autos dont tend to take the stress of megashifters", What do you mean? Megashifters are the bit that sits in the car, that you change gears with. |

Yep, they are one of the strongest 3 speed transmissions out there too. They are called a TH180C (trimatic). You can work the ring out of em.
It's better to start off with an auto because they cost a lot and the trans tunnels are a lot wider, the carbs ahave a kick down linkage and just no headfucks like crossmembers, removing pedals and patching shit up.
You can put B&M shifters on em but you will have to make up your own anchor bracket (which has to be VERY FUCKING ACURATE!) and adjust the cable acordingly.
Good luck, I hope this helped.

I was going to say ask Hop-a-long as he's an auto specialist.
The stall of the converter needs to be higher than the starting point of the camshaft. Say the cam has a range of 2200 - 5500 rpm, you need a stall of 2500.
