I plan on doing the same, on the same car. All I'll say is that unless you have plenty of moneyto buy all new parts, prepare to spend a while at a junkyard. I've heard from more than one person that the switch from auto to std is not cheap. You plan on doing turbo, or you going all engine with the h22? I plan on building mine up for all engine. It all depends what your plans are with that swap. Are you sure that you definately want to do the auto to std change?
