I hear its not worth all the work to convert auto to manual. Sell the old, buy a new

Build the 64 block and put a 6 bolt head on it. Why downgrade to less displacement?

The reason for this swap is the 4g64 motor blew. The connecting rod studs failed sent the bottom piece thru the oil pan. Then the connecting rod lodged it self in the oil pump screw in the back of the motor, that cause the timing gear on the oil pump to fail as well. Luckily the head was unharmed from all of this happening. Also he wants to do it and I'm just the brains behind it.

If the block was good we were gonna put a 6bolt head on but as stated it blew.

So the wiring harness, does it matter if we use a convertable gst or non convertable?

thanx for the help!
