I saw a thread talking about putting a scrub tranny in a Tbird.  I really want to put a more modern auto overdrive tranny in the 55 I am restoring but don't want to cut the frame to accommodate like I would with the Ford AOD.  We intend to really drive this a lot once its done.  Any leads or help in sorting through this is appreciated.  I promise it would be the only Scrub part I have every owned in my life.
