Hi,
I'd like to get an idea on how much it would run me to convert an auto matic 71 cuda to manual.
I'm sure some of you have done this already.
Thanks

If you try the search engine on here you will find dozens of threads on this very topic. There is one thread in particular that I cannot find at the moment that has a complete list of everything you  need. Depending on whether you plan to buy everything new or by used the price can vary quite a bit. If you want to go the new route, check out the link below. Brewer's offers complete conversion kits for E-bodies.

Like John said, the price vairys, but one thing that is crucial to know, small block or big block? i think in the end i paid somewhere in the ball park of 1200 - 1500 but i had a lot of help with parts and labor help from MOPARAL.

it really depends how many of the parts youcan locate used or at a reasonable price but the parts list can easily hit $3000 or more , there is a list of the needed parts in the archive section
