Hi the wiki didn't state which Propshaft to use when using automatic transmission?

And does standard sump fit over crossmember?

And does crossmember need reinforcing?

Do you need custom mounts for gearbox?

Thanks

I'm doing this conversion myself. I'm looking at a custom prop, making my own mounts to ensure the standard sump fits over the crossmember and probably custom gearbox.

I've not seen anyone reinforce a cross member because of this engine.

ok, you don't really need to reinforce the crossmember but if you want to then why not. i have lowered my crossmember and reinforced it as i wanted my M60 sitting lower (preference)

if you look further than the wiki on the auto prop option and i would of thought fabed mounts will be a must as the auto box is the size of a small planet (why auto anyway) the net is fruitful.
