Question converting engine from automatic to manual tranny setup ?

I have a spare engine with 30-miles on it and all components (turbos, A/C, alternator, etc.), however, it was setup for an automatic transmission and has been in storage for 3-years (all holes sealed).

What needs to be done to "convert" this engine to manual/stick transmission duty ?

Do I have to get a different rear housing as well as flywheel and starter ?

If so, what is involved in doing this (e.g., new rear gaskets, complete tear-down, etc. ) ?

TIA,
:-) neil

Thanks Mahjik.

I read those links, and I didn't get the warm fuzzies on what I need to change on the engine so I can bolt-it to a manual tranny.

Sounds like I'll need the following to do it right:

front balancer
rear housing
rear flywheel (17-lbs ?)
starter

Anything else ?
