You may want to do an article for it. It sounds like a problematic issue solved.
The largest hold back to automatics is the issue fof the bell mount housing. A solution to it in an article would be of immense help.

I've never done it with an Auto, but it seems it would be simple by just using the pass car side mounts on the engine and a cross member for the trans, and the pass car bellhousing,flexplate etc... it works for standard trans but you have to use the pass car bellhouing also, and I had to use a clutch disc, pressure plate and throwout bearing from a pass car ( smaller input shaft than the truck )..sorry I'm getting off track with the auto swap, my thinking is the opposite, I would take an Auto out, throw it away and put in a stick, but I guess some people have a prefference to an Auto
