depends on how far u plan on taking your car. Manual is a lot more fun on the street but you can make an auto be just as fun or faster. At the track an automatic is alot more consistent. I have an auto and i like it because i dont have to worry bout missing gears or stalling during a race. So do whichever you like more

Leave the original transmission in it, if you're going to sell it. Why are you putting money into it if you just going to sell it anyways?

I would rather have a manual. Like 92 hatch said, if you're going to sell it leave the original transmission in it. Since 4 cylinder to v8 swap cars don't sell for as much as an original v8 does I imagine it would be the same for transmission swaps too.

+1 Generally speaking automatics sell easier, but I think enthusiasts lean towards the manual side. If you're going to sell it dont bother with the swap imo.
