Jesse Kloth from SDG Motorsports was looking at doing more adapter plates if you wanted to go down the Torqueflite route. I can't remember what Jesse's user name is on here, I think I have his email somewhere.
The kit Leon does is very good and headache free, for a GM based trans it would be the only way to go.
From memory, the Nascar headers don't fit particularly well in a door car, I think any of the cars I have seen have had custom headers.
I am still building my engine, so I can't comment how fitting it to the car, plus my steering is on the opposite side anyway.
Best of luck
Alan Jones

Thank you for this information. I found the email for SDG and sent him a message. I am also interested in the kit Leon does, so if anyone has a way I could contact him it would be appreciated.

My car has a stick so cant say about the auto adaptor.. It does have nascar headers the #6 and 8 tube needed to be slid more into the flange but that was the only modification. the collectors will run right into the torsion bar x member it could be modified or pipes could jump over it. I have a tube k member there is no way the stock box was fitting with the dry sump pump. Thank you for the reply. Plan B is to do a stick, but seeing what info i can get on the auto adapter. Glad to hear the headers just needed a slight modification. I never thought about the stock box being in the way of the oil pump. Did you go with a rack and pinion then?
