Welcome to this forum, Craneman !

Nice looking machine. Not as beat as they often are.

I suspect that the auto trans is longer than the standard. Maybe it can be done, I Don't Know. Where are you located ??

I am currently working on converting one of my J5's from a 3 speed to a GM TH350 using the original 251 flathead (full rebuild). I hope to start putting it back together in the next month or so, once I rebuild the differential and fix up a few things on the tub. I think it is going to work real good. I also will be putting in a driveshaft brake same as my BR100+. What engine is in your SW48?
