I may have found a good deal on a donor car to do a swap my only issue is that its an automatic and my v6 is a manual and I want to keep it. Will I still be able to use the V8 automatic for the swap and just get the bell housing fly wheel. Also I read in a thread that I can even use the computer and just have it tuned to have the shift points at 0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've read this three times and I still don't know what it is that you want to do.

I think he wants to ditch the auto and keep the stick with the V8 swap, does he need to do anything to the computer?

they are both 1994, I just wanted to know if using a automatic v8 as a donor car to swap my manual V6 to a V8 if there's any parts that I could not use from the automatic besides the transmission because I want to keep it a manual

has your parts list. You will need a 94-95 v8 bell housing to use your v6 T5.
