Default auto to manual swap?

1971 dodge demon 318
how much will it cost to buy a manual transmission and all the other parts and swap it with the auto transmission ? and about how long should it take?
and is there anything else that i may need besides transmission , clutch , and pedals, ?
is the manual transmission bigger than the auto? or will it fit with no problems?

The A833 is a great transmission and was fit behind almost everything from the slant 6 to most of the big blocks. IIRC, it wasn't used behind the 426 or the 440. I don't remember the gear ratios, but there are articles (allpar, I think) describing the ratios available.
