youre gonna need the proper flexplate the tranny torque converter tranny lines tranny etc. youll also need the cross member i think the automatic driveshaft is shorter you may need a different yoke.you can prolly find one in the junkyard.
if you decide to do ths swap i can use some of your clutch pieces specifically the cluthc pedal assy and the linkages to the frame and the rubber grommets

how do you plan on shifting gears? Unless you go with an aftermarket floor shifter, you will need a new steering column and related linkage & bracket

How long is a SWB drive shaft from center of U-joint to center of U-joint from an automatic ?
