Hey guys,

New to this forum and I have a 1981 Chevy Silverado C10 long bed pickup. I am going to be ruilding the engine, I have already started and have cleaned and rebuilt the carb.

My square has a 4 speed manual transmission but it was installed by one of the previous owners; along with a front brake lock so they could lock the tires and burn rubber. I would love to keep the manual tranny so I can learn to drive stick.

Was the 4 speed replacing another manual or auto? Is replacing an auto with a manual a cost effective option when a stock auto goes belly up?
