IN MY OPINION..... trade the 4-speed car for an automatic instead
Not answering your question but if it is a numbers matching car I would trade it for another, if it is not then I would change the manual to the automatic transmission. :alan2cents:
You do not have to remove the 4speed hump from the floor.
Different transmission mount
Different driveshaft.
You will need to add a tunnel automatic bracket and automatic shifter cable.
If you don't want a console you will need to change out the steering column.
remove the reverse light from the lower dash.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
A couple automatic bracket and shifter linkage pictures. 70 bh car.
I"m not sure but I think you can just remove the pedal from this set up.
remove the z bar and the z bar ball stud.

Or if you never plan on changing it back you could sell the 4-speed pedals. Guys are looking for them
Picture of the 4 speed hump.
I would keep all the 4 speed parts and keep the hump on the floor for an easy re-conversion.
You will need the proper kickdown linkage, that will be the biggest PITA to find, then the shifter and linkage, then obviously a trans, convertor and flexplate. It should be really easy to find someone with an automatic in their car that would like to change to a 4 speed depending on where you live. I know I would jump at the chance if I had an automatic car. That way you would be sure of getting all the parts you need.

A few parts you will need here.
Where are you located? Lots of members would be interested in the old parts. You will need a different console as well
Don't forget a new rad with a trans cooler in it, as well. And then there's the question- why? Your car and your call, just curious because there're many others, as mentioned, who're going the other way. For a serious buyer, it may also kill the deal, if he's a purist- and they're out there. Just my :alan2cents:
slap stick set up.

700 American? Really. I'll sell a set up cheaper than that
I bought a set up for 200.
but if I needed one right now and couldn't find another I would pay up.
didn't say it was cheap, just showing the options are available.
Just time, money and the willingness to do it!
