Transmission swap
I have been looking at the possibility of putting in a manual transmission in my automatic 66 GTO convertiable. My car does not have the original engine, but does have the born with transmission. Would it hurt the value very much if I were to change out transmissions? I know that I can find a GTO 389 motor to replace the B body 66 389 engine that is in there now, and I believe it would bring it's value up some as oppose to leaving in the motor that is in there now. What would cutting a hole in the floor and changing transmissions do to the value of the car? I just don't want to hurt the value of the car anymore than it is just because I think it would be more fun to drive with a manual transmission. Any thoughts?
