Default Sportomatic

Anyone have experience/knowledge with the Sportomatic from the 70’s? Specifically how difficult is it to convert one to a 915?

Thanks

You need a manual shift donor car to use gearshift and various wiring harnesses, flywheel, clutch, trans ,axle shafts and by the way there is no clutch cable conduit in the tunnel. You have to fabricate this into the sporto car. Are you looking at Wayne's car?

Yes! What do you think of his car? Send a PM or email kem3000@yahoo.com if you don't want to post here.

Thanks
