No. No one bothers with the automatics as they are for cruisers.
Speak to a drag racing transmission shop, I believe drag racing is quite big in Australia? And see if they can do something with the stall converter. I really wouldn't bother. A manual is a much better drivers car

cool I have always hated manuals with a passion I don't see a point in a third pedal when I can manualize a auto and get better shift response and the m20 auto has a higher final drive gear ratio than the manual 0.81 for the 5 speed manual vs 0.73 for the auto.
I want to run a decant cam so while I get the fly balanced and lighted to 6kg I will talk to a phew of me mates. just wondering would the stock auto be able to handle a cam?

A cam isn't really going to yield much, if any extra power or torque on a stock engine, especially as you are planning on running the old engine management. If anything it will move the power curve up and to the right, reducing torque so your transmission will be less stressed

Also there isn't a flywheel to lighten, there is a flex plate. Not had one in my hands for a while but they aren't that heavy
