You will be in the ball park of $4000-$5000 to get an Auto that will hold up to everything.

It will bolt right up, PCM might need to be changed, and drives shafts as well.

Much as I hate to possibly jeopardize my first in line status, that's three reasons why you may want to rethink converting.

Everyone has their own preference of transmission. I myself prefer an Auto.

This looks like a good deal for both parties:
