Transmission Question 37' Stude

[poncho1964]

I’ve probably a common question - I tried to search for it, but without any useful result.
Which Automatic transmission can I - how - connect to a 37’ Studebaker engine (R6) – or where can I get an adapter for such a project.
I want to build up a traditional rod from a 37’ Stude Coupe, but due to an accident I need an autotranny in my cars.
If this won’t work – which engine/transmission combo should I use? (without the 350/350 possibility)
Thanks in advance!

I only know of Stude V-8 transmission adapters but the later 6's used automatic transmissions (Detroit Gear 150's and Flight-o-matics) that can be rebuilt or maybe use a Stude V-8. deepnhock@cox.net is the Stude newsgroups resident '37 Stude hotrodder, he has a coupe express and is up to speed on what fits..
