see thing is though its already a manual, so it would probably be alot easier to do a T56 imo. i would think an auto would require lots of other parts ex: steering column, gauges, covering the whole for the shifter, etc. well see though, i can probably pick up a 60E for less than a T56 though
side note: the scoops are already off the hood haha, im gonna debadge most of it today and get her washed and cleaned up real good and ill post up some more pics tomorrow

get a floor shifter and cable. and a new brake pedal. you don't really need the gauges and just some sheet metal for the hole.
i've thought this over and priced both and the 4L60E route comes out much cheaper. (mine is a 5-spd now) and then your rear will hold up better also.
