just because it didn't come out of an AOD dosen't mean it couldn't work. Get er done.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yes, it will fit.

I didn't realize until now that I posted on this thread on page 2 post # 13.

Tranny will barely clear the tunnel, and a good 2 pound hammer gaurantees it will fit ! :D

I say if this is true (I'm sure it is) You should go for it. This would be a fun summer tire burner. Daily driver though, probably not. Build it! Pics are important.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned here is other technology, esp tires, but also suspension and traction control.  The muscle cars couldn't put power to the pavement like cars today can.

I really wish i could get those heads now...... but ill find somthing sooner or later....tire burner? DEFINATELY!!!!!!!!!! I know i really need to stiifen up the suspension a lot, becausse, i love getting sideways, and i cant wait to see how the cat handles it with a bb and 300 more horse, and a lot more torque.....If its too uncontrollable, than itll be strictly a burnout/donut machine........ And i dont think im going to think of trac. control although it is a very good idea!!! Maybe abs........

Don't worry if you make a build page following your chronicals I'm sure that will happen. My dream is to build a G-machine with a stout small block and a bada$$ paintjob but thats a looooooooong way off.

Well, I've got a long way to go that you probably do. Rust repair, engine and tranny swap, paint, exhaust, tires.
