So you already have the conversion ready to go in?, ask a transmission or gearbox place near you

There's a fair bit of work involved & you will find that a workshop will probably want to charge you a full days labor to do the job, maybe even more.
I've converted my Eb Ghia to a 5spd. If your using a factory manual peddle box the dash has to come out, that's a huge job! Cheers ToranaGuy

You won't find anyone who will do it any cheaper than $600-700 though...at your age, I think that's pretty pricey still. Assuming you want them to do everything...so drive in/out.

You will need to remove the spigot bearing from the back of the crank & fit an auto flex plate to the engine before you can fit the auto the the engine. Cheers ToranaGuy
