Cross member is the same, drive shaft is the same. Exhaust mount on tail shaft is different, as well as torque arm mount. Is the 700R4 out of a F-body? If the auto isn't out of an F-body it will be a huge pain to make it work with this car.

In my opinion, DO not change it to an auto car. Manual f bodies are kinda tough to come bye. But that's just my opinion.

He has a point. manual cars are hard to come by and therefore worth more than their automatic counterparts.
