Originally i was going to put a automatic back in, but due to a change in my financial state for the best. its time for the automatic to go. ive shopped around junk yards in the area and they are wanting waaayyyy to much money. any of you guys in the toronto/barrie area with parts cars looking to get rid of alot of parts, heres your chance....

Fry, you better talk to Joe first about whether this swap is worth your time. I was there for many of the 'tool throwing' nights...

i'll let Joe take care of these questions but i remember him having to replace one of the engine mounts which was a pain to find... its was the one closest to the battery i think... also you have to rewire a bunch of things from being auto... i cant remember the rest but im sure he does

but ya, definetly worth the effort!
