being an auto i think it would be rude not to 5 speed it see ing as you have most of the bits to do ps is it a good 4 speed and how much do u want for it

true.... i just aint too found of the type 9 box, i do like to keep it retro and stick with the 4-speed. i just want to know weather it will just bolt in either using the auto box mount or the 4-speed mount? i dont want to be making mounts and drilling holes in my floor pans... and ill doubt ill sell the box mate, its a nice spare for something else.

aparantly u turn the auto box mount round the prop fits the rear and the gearstick should be in about the right place. tho not done myself
