the common consensus I 've heard is that the vh41-5 conversion to an auto is relatively easy,
as that v8 never really seemed to come out coupled to a manual that I know of,
you may start building up a lot more costs than would be desirable by going manual eg flywheel (custom or otherwise) adapter plates etc etc.
but if it has to be a manual you could get (the steel surgeon) in manukau to put it all together for you.

Wow! The Marks kit uses two adapters! What moron thinks that that is a good idea! (meaning the designers) Sure it is good from and economics POV but really.
VH to auto is easy as they use the same auto as a Safari. Throw a manual valve body on the auto and it's better than a manual anyway and in the process you save about 100kgs.
I've been running this for quite a while (turboed VH45) and it has proven to be very reliable.

How much does it cost to put a manual valve body in?
