Default sounds perty good

it dont sound bad to me, and it has been my limited experience that the manual vb dont hurt nuthin, just makes her shift a little hard depnedin on when ya shift it, basically yer shiftin a manual without havin no clutch. good luck, keep us posted Semper Fi

Sounds like a good strip car. The price isn't too bad, however I would haggle a little bit.

A manual valve body is an auto only thing,it means the trans wont shift itself,you must manually shift it,(1-2-3 etc)its slight overkill for the street ,it does change your shift pattern though,it will go P-R-N-1-2-3,its done this way so you cant get to N-R or P accidently when racing,its only drawback is if the motor genades and you have to get to neutral while rolling.The car sounds a little high but w/o pics its hard to say for sure,I'd think more like $ 4000-4500,post a pic if you can......PRO...

Looks pretty good,5K would still be a good buy.Leave the manual valve body in and see if you like it,you can always have it removed later........PRO......
