Ken Pletcher asks:
> 1)Does anybody know how difficult it would be to find a RL411 transmission?
Reports are that the RL411 automatic is wider than the transmission
tunnel in the Roadster - in other words, it won't fit. Yes, I've
been casually looking into an automatic conversion for quite some time.
Call me blasphemous, but I want an automatic for my wife (and now
my daughter is starting to get that 'gleam'...) I suspect an entire
driveliine swap is the way to go.
Maybe Ron can mate an FJ20 with an automatic? :-)

Custom fit. A guy in Texas had a setup, and you hear of them now and again.
Yank the smog pump and put a rotary compressor in its place. Sacrifice
what little trunk space there is for an evaporator box, or possibly
do what a friend with an Opel GT did: build a low box that sits on top
of the package tray (watch clearance for the soft top).
