Alright, for all you '69'ers out there who have completed this swap, I have a few questions.
1) Will the driveshaft need to be shortened? With all this talk about deals on aluminum driveshafts, now might be a good time to get a new one instead of me shortening the old one if that's what I need to do.
2) I know the swap will require another crossmember/tranny mount. Is this easily fabricated, and if so does anyone have the dimensions?
3) I believe the AOD's have 50 oz flywheels, and the C4 has a 28 oz. I am guessing that there is a flywheel/dampener relationship of sorts because they both have the same weight. If I am correct, will it be required to put a 28 oz flywheel into the AOD? How about the torque converter? Will that need to be replaced or will the old C4 one work?
I'm really just trying to nail down the absolute 'must haves' in order to complete the swap so I know what I am getting into.
As always, thanks in advance for the advice!
