I would keep the automatic rear end. I think you'll find that it will accelerate like a rocket (relatively) and I doubt you will sacrifice a significant amount of mileage. This is a guess.

I currently have an automatic with a manual 3.31 rear, and acceleration suffers (but of course, mileage is great). If you do the reverse, combining a 3.73 rear with a manual, I expect it will be a lot of fun, and mileage will still improve.

Too bad you're not in the metro DC area; I'd swap with you.
