Re: Keegan's 55 Clipper Deluxe

Been a while, but I'm back on the Clipper project. Currently I'm working on the frame, so I can put the body back on. As long as the frame is off, it's really easy to do all the brake/fuel lines and clean and paint the frame.
I've been on the fence about the transmission in the car. It works, but not flawlessly. My ultimate vision for the car is a highway cruiser with the wife and kids so overdrive is very desirable. Bob Bendtsen's Shop is about 1 mile from mine and he's now making an adapter for a Chevrolet automatic tranny. So, I've decided that the Ultramatic has to go and in it's place will be a 700R4.
I pulled the motor and trans to more easily clean up the frame and whatnot.
Question1: As long as the motor is out, should I do the Olds pump conversion?
Question2: What's the going rate for a used Ultramatic Transmission?
