I have a 68 Scout 800 will an auto tranny from a V8 Scout bolt up to the 196 in mine??? PLease help.

Knock the weights off of the flexplate and bolt it up. It will be tilted to the side cuz of the twisted bell battern(15*). You'll have to do something to the crossmember. Probably have to get a deep pan to make sure you dont run it dry. Dont be surprised if its a dawg.:flipoff2:

Take the sluggishness of a 4 cyl in a heavy truck, and then compound it through a slushbox tranny.

You pulled it right out of my head.

The 4 cyl needs all the help it can get when it comes to laying down power and the auto doesnt help in a daily driver. In a dedicated trail rig or crawler it 'might' be ok if you had enough gears (crawl box, 5.88's, etc...)

Finding a torque converter that is the correct stall for the 4 banger is another consideration as well.

What do you think it should be? Higher stall since the operating RPM's are different than the V8? I'm curious now.

It's going to need to be a loose converter, so it can get into it's power band The 727 was not designed to be behind a low power engine. The 904 would be a better choice, but we all know it's not available in a IH pattern.

Like a converter that gets around, if you know what I mean:D

I'm not sure what a loose converter is?

Higher than stock stall speed. Not sure what stock 727 is. Somewhere around 1,600 - 1,800? Looser would be anything higher. I'd guess 2,200 to 2,400 would be about right.:D
