An adapter for the V8 to a torqueflight is already readily available and is what was in my '55 Clipper Super when I acquired the car. The '41 stick has just gotten progressivey worse with hardly any distance separation on the gear shift lever between neutral and 1st and a couple days ago it all jammed in the road. I got it unjammed as such but now it can't find neutral to start and the linkages are very widely separated. Then there's the flip the switch to activate the 6-volt solenoid and pull the OD cable in and out depending on forward or reverse; it's just ridiculous to go through all that. If a conversion had already been available, it'd already have been done.
