well, i swapped from a 700r4 to a t56, and it realy wasent as bad as i thought it was going to be. Its not much more than just puttin in the manual tranny like it was already stick. You just gotta do all the prep work. The wiring wasent too fun but not difficult. Its not necessarily hard, just a little pain in the a$$, but if you make sure your doin everythign correct, it will be good. It was definately worth it though.

Since many members on this site have completed the swap, a search should provide a wealth of info.
