Auto to stick swap
(Preview)
How hard is it to put a stick into an automatic car? What do I have to do besides the obvious? Can I get just the pedals and cut a whole in the firewall for the cable or is it a little more involved then that?
And another question if I were looking for a stock 302 what's the best year to look for?
