I'm waiting on any info on this also. My opinion is the same as Coulboy, when my box goes, if a manual was of comparable cost to a new auto, then i'd go for a manual.

I was quizzing Doug on this when I was there in December. His words were that he would need to go over the conversion and cost it up, it would be tricky as it was mostly ad-hoc and a lot of the parts were sourced used. It was also interesting to see a 6 engine and box out of the car, I was having a good nose, lol

If I hold onto mine for long enough I would consider this cos I'm not a fan of the autobox.
