Re: standard to automatic conversion
about to do this myself. depends on the transmission you get, might need a new and/or relocated crossmember. Driveshaft length may change.

Re: standard to automatic conversion
you need the auto crossmember, a trans cooler and lines or new rad with built in cooler. and new drive shafts. i converted my 2wd back in the 90's. it will take the weekend if you have all the parts.
