Re: auto to a standard

You would need:
Transmission(nv3500 or NV4500)
clutch
flywheel
master cylinder
slave cylinder
crossmember relocated (maybe)
driveshaft shortened (maybe)
clutch pedal

It is a little work but not that bad. Moving the neutral safety switch to the pedal is fun under the dash.

Good luck with it.

Re: auto to a standard

Is this going to be more of a street rod or going to be for hauling, if it is a street rod i don't think you would want to go with the NV3500 or 4500, maybe something out of a camaro or the like though, just my $.02 though.
