converting AT to manual in my 240
My 240 is acting up and has blowback like a steam locomotive so I was considering doing a motor and tranny swap for it. I was wondering how easy it would be to put in a 5cyl turbo motor, what kind of modification would be needed? Also would a 4 speed manual tranny work with the 5cy turbo motor? Curious if anyone has done this before. Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thanks.
