Manual or no manual?
 

Hey guys,
I was wondering how much it would cost to turn an auto 280z into a manual. The manual engine id b putting in is a zz4 350 or a chevy 350 LS1. Im in chicago area still looking for a 280 but all we got around here in the city are auto transmissions. I was thinking i could just say "screw it" and buy an auto and convert to a manual. I jsut need to know about how much it would cost. i aint mechanically inclined so i would have a mechanic do it for me.
thanks for any responses.
