is my transmmission worth the swap value?

i dont have the money to buy all the parts, im putting out curb feelers to see if my automatic transmission would be worth someone doing the swap for me.

my parents crackheaded, alcoholic independent mechanic could do the swap itself, but i would most likely have to do the vacuum tweaking and maybe even the pedal/shifter swap.

it might just be easier to find a manual transmission car, huh?

anyone have one that isnt crusty that an artist could afford?
