Well, there are a coupla different GM to Stude adapters on the market. That sets you up with...5 different GM transmissions. I've got one. It'll be used to put a 200-4R in the Conestoga, for now anyway. I really want a 5spd. manual trans., but that'll have to wait a bit!
Nothing else swaps in easly.
Like I'm gonna do (some day!)....a Tremec, TKO 5spd., if you can find a bell housing. They're about $1800.00 bucks though!! I'm going to use a scattershield since I want to do a little racing.
I have two adapters.....but the spare is sorta promised to someone. Haven't heard from him for a coupla months though. Let me find out if he's still wants it. I'll get back to you.
Later

P.S. There's a guy down here that does the Stude auto trans. in his sleep. He does a bit in Turning Wheels when people have auto trans. questions, John Metzeger. I dought it'd cost that much. Though it may end up the same cost by the time you send it down here...he rebuilds it and sends it back!!
Oh, and by the way....they are actually 3 speeds. I'm suprised you haven't figured out how to shift'em as a three spd.
Start out in "low".....accelerate to your desired speed....shift fully into "drive".....and pull it back into "low"....now hold it to the desired 2nd gear speed....and shift it back into "drive" for 3rd (or high) gear.
Works like a charm.
