definitely don't do it, you'll have no pressure in the transmission, you can burn up the bands doing it, even just driving a mile down the road will burn them without fluid

DON"T do it

If it is even slightly out of whack you will KILL the trans.

Holley probably makes something you just add to your carb to hook it up.

Check out www.700r4.com. I got the assembly for a Holley double pumper from them. It works great.
