I realize I don't have the time and would probably prefer to hire out. I have a running and restored 1970 Coronet Superbee. I want to convert from automatic to 4 speed manual. I have all the parts need from Brewers. Any shops recommended. I wold travel beyond the bay area if the shop is familiar with this process. Thanks in advance
 
ET Muscle cars in Sacramento. I used them extensively for my 68 Coronet. The did a lot of work including a A518 transmission conversion.

See if you can contact a member of Mopar Alley. That is a car club located near San Jose. I’d bet that someone from the club there could refer you or offer to do the work.
I did a Vintage Air A/C job along with a Borgeson steering box swap for a guy in San Jose, a FBBO member and friend of mine.
I would not know what to charge for an auto to manual swap as a regular guy. Shops charge upwards of $125 per hour and this is not a simple two day job. I’d be interested in hearing an estimated time for this. In 2021 I converted my Charger to a Tremec 5 speed. In 2023 I helped a buddy do the same. In both cases other work was done while the car was apart so it is hard to know an accurate time.
To add, I’m the optimist that almost always thinks I can do something in two hours when sometimes a few snags are encountered and the job takes double that.
Good luck with the car.
