It's a bolt on swap, so not a major project. You can buy everything repo or pick up parts at a swap meet or ebay. Depending on the automatic you may have to replace/modify the drive shaft.
I've converted two cars (a '69 Lemans and my current '66 Chevelle) over with no problems.

Most of the models that I see around my area all have an auto transmission. My question is how hard is it to convert from and auto to a standard? Getting the transmission is not really an issue for me but rather all the other parts peddle ect. Is it worth the money and time to convert an automatic to a standard or should i be looking for a car that already has the standard in it? Much appreciated, Aaron
