I would definitely put the 5-speed manual in! The factory A4LD auto tranny is the weakest and most power robbing transmission ford has ever come out with. If you just buy a donner car that has a 2.3 turbo, it will more than likely have the 5-speed in it and you can just swap them both. If all goes well, I will have a great turbocoupe to "donate" to my mustang project ;-)
