Joel,
If you are interested in the 4 speed to auto swap. I have 2 parts cars that are auto. I think the consoles are in descent shape for drivers. I would be happy to trade you consoles and pedal assemblies. I will pay shipping. I have a 79 project that I want to start at a later date. I would love to make it a 4 speed. I would be happy to help with any parts you need to make the swap if you will give me your pedals, z-bar and clutch linkage. I have not done this swap but my cousin has. Let me know.
Oh and me personally I would keep it 4 speed. Maybe now is chance to convert it to 6 speed. My email is
