That's lame, but I'll be upgrading the cams down the road either way.

OK, I get it. Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work to me. Even if you save a couple hundred, will it be worth the hassle?

He's changing the tranny when the motor is OUTSIDE of the car. Not hassle at all...Sounds like a good plan to me.

I just mean the hassle of finding a buyer and shipping a tranny and all that. I've had a hell of a time selling parts in the past... I just prefer a simple opperation over a complicated one.

Unfortunately no,B series and D series heads,blocks,and trannies don't bolt up.You wouldn't want to use a D seires tranny on a B series motor anyway.You need a B tranny to go with the motor.along with a couple of the mounts and the axles,shiftlinkage and ECU.But you can get auto B16A's,and it is just as easy a swap as the manual.
