There s a bit of a bonus with this series in that the vehicle getting the engine has a manual transmission. The engine we re using came out of a vehicle with an automatic. So for those of you interested in an automatic to manual swap, this gives you a pretty good indication of what you re up against. BTW, you would also need to swap computers if you were going from automatic to manual.
