Switching an Auto AW70 87 740 turbo wagon tranny over to a 86 740 manual 700

posted by  someone claiming to be 10ftdeep on  Mon Feb 23 14:16 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I've been pondering. I've got a 86 sedan 740 manual parts car with parts ready for the pickin. My wife drives an 87 760 turbo sedan (which needs a wire harness) great car! Love it! I drive the heck out of a 87 740 Turbo Wagon auto, Turbo Wheels, Leather cloth interior but for some reason the buyer who ordered it didn't want cruise. No big deal. Car drives great. I drive it between 850 to 1000 miles a week. Many times(daily) maintaining, lets say very highspeeds (100+) for 10 to 20 miles at a time. I'm not going to say which part of the county I drive in but it's a 4 letter state. I'm getting a little restless and I'm thinking of switching my auto 740 turbo wagon over to the manual and save the tranny for my wife's. I see in the F/A that it could be done. My question is, Is it worth it? Will I get that much more power? Will it be that much more fun???



THanks
