Lol, WoW, I hope you got enough sarcasim to pay for that new engine. Lol, But, Yea, I was at one point wanting to get an engine swap for a cobra engine. Lol, But those things cost money....But air filters are that expensive so you can just pay for a new one and sell the other one on ebay along with all that sarcasim...

Just sell the auto and buy a stick stang...converting is a waste of money especially since it sounds like you'd have to have the work done. Or you could always build the auto tranny that you have...a stall will do wonders

If you have the wrong parts, sell them on ebay and with the money... buy what you need. If you're new to cars, you certainly shouldn't be considering a tranny swap until you know what you're doing.

You can also post in the classified section, considering you actually find out what headers you bought. I'm sure someone would buy them and then you can purchase the correct headers for what you're hoping to do.

Lol, I wish I could get a refund but its to late....I guess I can just sell it on ebay and buy another one with that money...How do you guys feel about automatic drivers? (I was just worndering I don't want to seem like no punk, Lol, I'm only 17 and I just got my licens 4 months ago and I never went to driving school, So I thought I just might wait a while to drive manual.)
