i shot an email to novak adapters today. i'm waiting to see what they say. that's good to hear that the tf999 should be fairly adequate. i was thinking though...automatic transmissions have the bellhousing permanently affixed...therefore a tf999 bellhousing would have to by some chance be the same bolt pattern as a ford bell housing. so if i want an automatic, i pretty much need to use a ford one right? i'm going to try to measure the C6 and TF999 to find out how far forward the motor would be pushed. a 302 should be shorter than a I6 4.2 right? my brain hurts
