what the hell is an auto to manual trans converter exactly?! and how much work /which would be the best engine, whatever motor i get i'll probably rebuild it, get stronger rods, pistons, better cam and a few other goodies i'm considering going w/a turbo and possibly a few other pieces including a manual trans but i don't want a motor that will require major work to install by this i mean i don't want to have to spend more money getting the motor in the car than i'll spend on the engine, i definitely have performance aspirations but i don't want a trailer queen, something that would make it 3+ seconds faster would be nice, which one has the best aftermarket following?
