The change of the transmission won't make it quicker or more powerful. Depending on the style of driving and the type of manual transmission it might give you a mile or two back on your overall mpg at best. Also if drag racing, unless you are super shifter, it won't help you be 'consistent'. If set on going to a manual transmission you are looking for a 3 or 4 speed transmission out of a 1967-1976 A-body (and bellhousing and transmission out of a 1976-1980 F-body) as your bolt in choices. You will need all the donor parts from a 1967-1976 A-body. You might also review the article on 4 speeds on the board article section. -D.Idiot |

I would leave it as is...unless you have a plan in mind, the A904 automatic is fine for getting around, and can be rebuilt to take abuse if quality parts are installed. -D.Idiot |
