i just got a 94 cobra shell and i want to swap my 94 gt motor&tranny in it. will this be a straight swap or will this require any extra parts? i figure since i have a donor car of the same year this will be simple. will the car require any mods because it was stick?

Should be straight forward. Swap all the parts you need. Put the GT computer in it. The wiring harness is the same.

Your shifter won't fit. The floor pan in the stick car is higher than in the auto. There is actually a cap that was added in at the factory. This will keep your shifter bezel from fitting properly.

There is a control box on the right, behind the glove box. You need this for overdrive and TCC lockup control.

Under the dash, on the drivers side. There is a gray plug up near the firewall. You'll need this as it creates a short where the clutch safety switch normally is.

I tried trimming my shifter bezel... which didn't work out very well. So you'll either need to modify the trans tunnel, or (more $$) look into the 4sdvenom shifter relocation. Along with an aftermarket shifter.
