Default 91 Automatic to 6-Speed conversion

Anybody on here done this?
What am I looking at to do this swap.
I think the trans in the car is on its way out.
Whats an estimate of the cost differences. (replace the auto vs swap)
I'd like to be able to take it on the roadcoarse as well so I think the manual would be a bit better for that.

It would probably be cheaper to sell your car and buy a 6 spd car

What am I going to get for a 91 with a slipping automatic?
I was trying to find out what the cost diff. would be for the switch. Its its not that big of a swing then I'll go the 6spd route.

I have a 92 stroker and my 700 is about to crater too, if not soon it will when the blower goes on. Have you had any luck yet?
