I have a 1954 Plymouth Savoy that is running. I want to change the transmission to an automatic, is this feasible and what is the cost?

!! It isn't even running yet and you are worried about a transmission change? Don't you have a priority out of order here?

C'mon - you could go nuts with alterations, fix to original or whatever you want. If you aren't able to even make it run this hobby isn't for you and you wont like prices/costs if you don't do a LOT of things yourself,

I agree. Don't hack up the car doing this stuff. Keep it stock.

Eeek! Sorry - Same though - don't hack up the car. Almost everything was a STD of around then and OE automatics IMO stunk for those that had them - mostly Buick's "Hydromatic" was one infinite gear.

Not the point - it would complicate the car worse than just being old is on it's own. You can do anything to the thing and keep the look of what it was but asking for costs right away says this isn't for you.

If you love this car exactly and want one exactly as you wish in "turn key" condition check out www.hemmingsmotornews.com for one already done up or places at least that do custom anything and I mean anything you can pay for,
