Life is too busy, but I have acquired a Sniper kit to put on the 318 Poly in my 409. I feel very sure that at the very least a transmission with a lock-up torque converter is required. A GM 6L80 would need an adapter but there are controllers for it. I've thought about a 42RH as I had a Dodge Dakota for many years with the Magnum 318 and 42RH (I think). But if you're going to the trouble of changing the trans and have the electronic outputs from a Sniper, it's relatively easy to install 6 or even 8 gears. I have no idea whether these fit under the Bristol floor without modification.
