Okay, I'll go first...I advise you not to do it.

For many reasons.
But seriously, may I ask why you want to do this? I only ask because, more often than not, members here have sought advice on swapping
to a manual, from an automatic. IMO, with the possible exception of the C-6, the automatics are far less durable than the sticks (even your M50D) not to mention getting worse mileage, and robbing your already underwhelming (if in stock tune) 302 of needed power.
Perhaps there's another (easier) solution to your problem?
Oh--almost forgot: And welcome to the Forum! (Don't worry--most people aren't as snarky as I can be. )
