well i searched keywords Auto shortblock on manual
and got 1.. which has someone stating that there are numerous threads like this.. but none are found...

question:
shortblock from an auto fd. will it work on a manual fd? i heard there's a difference in bolts does it matter? will it affect anything?

reason: i am over the 100k oem hill... still runnnig strong but i want life insurance.. (a motor i can prep and instantly swap if anything goes wrong..) and there is a cheap auto shortblock oppurtunity.

Thanks

 

Yes. Otherwise, the guys doing the auto -> manual swap would be SOL.

 

definitely.

You will be fine if you use the auto short block.

 

lol yeah i was thinking the same thing. i thought they had to mod something or other.

thanks. now i can buy with impulses!

thread done!

 

It's vice versa that doesn't work...you can't use a manual short block with an automatic tranny.
