automatic trans?
Greetings from NC, We own a 1949 Flxible bus with a GMC 401. I am wanting to explore changing from a 4 speed un- syronized (spelling) to a modern automatic trans. Yes the length is an issue. What bolts up? What's the options? Thanks in advance.

Hello, could you post a picture of the engine and bellhouding that you have?
I'm assuming it is a SAE 2? (number dictates the size) Bellhousing. Which has round flange and equally spaced bolt pattern.

There is a set of parts to adapt a GMC V6 to automatic but don't know if the will do a 401. Seems like may be flywheel and ballance issues.
