I smoked many an fmx when I used do drive trucks instead of cars. A C6 is always a good idea, I swapped the AOD out of dad's 79 and put a C6 in. The downfall of the C6 is that it's a tank and it eats power. May I recommend a c4 perhaps? lighter, eats less power, and dang near as strong as a c6. As long as you aren't running 400+ ponies, a c4 will be fine.

The problem is ordering one, though. I grabbed a decent junkyard one, but hopefully I won't have an automatic much longer. As for no one reproducing parts for our cars, go with my motto: if it was easy, everyone would do it. it's also the reason there's so many chevys out there.
