I think it would be an easy bolt in. The
proper holes should be there for the hydraulic cylinders, and I would think the
top would be the same. They didn't make 2 different bodies. One for manual and
one for auto tops. Unless your going to go with new parts I think the hard part
would be finding a good donor car.

I think he is talking about a manual convertible top vs. a
power convertible top, not a coupe vs. a convertible.
I have the same
question and wonder what is involved in adding a power unit to my 64 manual
convertible top. Anyone know?

The
roof is a structural part of the car. Convertibles have fully boxed frames to
make up for the rigidity that is lost when the roof is not there. If you cut
the roof off a hardtop, the frame will probably
sag.

Do any of you know if a manual top can be set up to a power top without
any alterations?,this would be on a 65' chevelle. I know you'd need
to get all the hydraulics,pump & switches etc. but can it be bolted
right up if you had all the materials? I was just wondering before I
check out any more, there seems to be alot of them out there without
power tops. Any pros or cons on power over
manual?
Thanks
