hello, i have a 780 bertone 1989. its white with a blue and black with a auto transmission. i bought the car w/ 99K and the trans went at 143K. i had it rebuilt to above fact. spec. at cost of 2,000. i would like to convert it to a manual transmission.

What do i need?

do people ever do it?

better gas milage?

does top speed increase, and can i increase the top speed through gearing?

i am going to rebuild the engine, and try to get about 190-200 hp, what are the best ways to accomplish this, and will it kill the manual or automatic transmissions?

thank you all for any information...........any body need a rebuilt AW-71 (with papers) soon?, make offer!
