Default Converting 2JZGE 5spd to 1JZGTE w/ Auto? Anyone?

I have been all over these forums, as well as SupraForums...and cannot seem to find any information on converting the 5spd to an automatic. I would love to go 5spd, but the R154 Soarer tranny seems to be impossible to find! Though the other cars with R154s seem plentiful.

Anyway, has anyone converted to automatic? And how much of a pain is it...

regaurding the r154, read my sig. it can be done for pretty cheap. i think we spent a total of $20 on resurfacing the flywheel. $3 on welding wire $10 on argon gas for the welder, used scrap metal for the add-on, $300 for the trans, $.50 cents for a first gear thrust washer, and 400 for the clutch. so we totalled in at like $733.50 for the trans setup minus the drive shaft since i just took the measurements and my buddy had it made.

edit: found out the ds was only $150 so about $880 total
