Default doing a auto switch.

I have a 05 mustang gt fixer uper. I bought it hit in the front end. I have since pulled the engine and trans. I am sending it to the body shop within 2 weeks for frame rails. My question is. I would like to know how much of a pain it would be to convert the auto to manual trans. while I have it torn down. or will it even be worth it. Any suggestions would help me alot.

Default SC's and E85

I was just wondering if anybody here has any info on burning E85 (105 octaine) in supercharged apps. Or if you can even use it as a fuel on the 05 GT's

Changing the trans is will have to go in combination with a a change in the ECU. Other than that you shouldn't have any problems.

you seem pretty hardcore taking your car apart like that, so if you are as hardcore as i actually think you are, you will probably be interested in the fact that saleen has 6-speed manual tranny, so you could see if they would be willing to sell you that. also, i remember chevykiller talking about a 4 speed auto that he said was "for the hardcore"

so the true question it...how hardcore are you?
