The auto chassis is perfect for a 5 - spd swap because the trans tunnel area is a bit more roomy. If you do the 5 -spd swap from a 320, then also look for a 390 diff. You'll get a bit better acceleration and 5th will still give a nice highway cruising gear. The 390 was pretty much standard in '76s. It may even have been standard in autos, I'm not sure.
