Auto to manual conversion

That does make perfect sense, however, I already have an 8 3/4. The guy I bought it from was setting up to put a 4 speed in it, but because I didn't know how to drive stick at the time, we sold it. Dumb move on our part, because now I love driving stick
My 8 and 3/4 stood up to my four-speed for about 20 passes at the drag strip LOL.. starting from scratch you'll be the same money into a built Dana 60 and it will hold damn near anything you'll throw at it... Once you head up to Woodburn with some sticky slicks you'll find out your weak spots...
