Looking great there phillipe. :thumbsup:

Have you done some machining on the inlet ports to improve gas flow?

Nice pictures and keep us informed on the progress.

I am aware that this kind of preparation won't give optimum results on a automatic transmission car, but as I previously mentioned I don't search for a 200HP car.

those mods should give me extra torque and some more HP, wich will be just fine for me......

I believe that trying to do more on a automatic transmission will result in rapid transmission trouble due to the lack of cooling of the gearbox.

I plan to install a trans temp gage somewhere in a discreat place in the cockpit and why not a warning light (lambda light).
this is easy to put a temp sensor on the gearbox case
