Default 2GEN Auto tranny 4/5 gen auto conversion??
Just curious to see if this is possible. Are the new Auto Trannys any stronger? Are they worth a swap?

Sounds like a cool swap. I have a project coming up and would love to know if it's been done.

As far as I know, no one makes a good stand alone programmer for the 68. And no they are not stronger that a 48 or a 47re. Stock for stock they are probably a little better but don't have as much room to upgrade.
