Currently I have a 1990 LX with a manual transmission. I will also be getting a parts car from a neighbor, it's a 1990 GT with an auto transmission. My "plan" this winter is to pull the engine and when I have time, rebuild it and then slap it into my LX... Now for for the question, is there anything weird with the 5.0 engine block that is mated to an auto trans, or can I just slap my bell housing on the block and be semi-good to go? Thank you...
