thanks guys.
efi-diy....i think i might head out to the junk yard this weekend to see what i can find.

68orangesunshine.... as i dug further into this site earlier today, i found out the sm465 wwas a granny 4speed. i have 2. could be one of each you described. i do like them. they are in trucks. in the sf bay area, the commute is getting old with a clutch. that would be the main reason to go to an automatic. also thinking bout replacing the rearend with one i can change the gears in.
