Can anyone give me the specifics of swapping an auto tranny for a manual for a 89 5.0? By specifics I mean estimated cost, time, difficulty, what is involved in it, what parts do I need? Also does anyone know where I might be able to find something on the web to help, like instructions?

I got in an accident with my 4 cylinder, which is a manual, is there anything I can get off it? I know some of the parts won't work due to the fact it's a 4 cylinder.
