I dunno about that, I converted my 87 Diplomat over to stick.




Apples to oranges my friend. Just try finding junkyard parts for any of the popular muscle era cars. Not gonna happen. I scrounged for used stuff and the cost still adds up. There are no cheap big block bellhousings and no $100 new ebay clutch will hold up behind a strong 440 for a run down the track. I can convert an 80's fwd turbo mopar from auto to stick for a couple hundred bucks including the price of a new clutch. Can't even compare the two.
