They made 2 different consoles for automatic and manual. They look almost identical. I think you can swap the top plates between the 2 and make modifications to the driver side of your auto console and make it work. I think it would be easier to find a good used manual console and then sell your auto console. Here is a picture showing the difference between the 2, manual on top. And I almost forgot, they mount on the hump differently too.
Here is a link to Keisler Engineerings site for complete auto to manual conversion kits for 71-74 B bodies.

Here is a link for getting a template for cutting your auto console for adapting to manual.

As Wookie316 stated doesn't matter what block you have. But I just remembered the most important thing. Your crank has to be drilled for the pilot bushing and input shaft of the trans. Don't know how big a deal it is to get one drilled in todays world, but it used to be a major pain in the *** back in the day. The last time I attempted one of these swaps they didn't make kits. We got all the parts at the junk yard.

I know keisler sells the pilot bushing kit for their trans, wonder if i can use it..doubt it..ALSO, will I need a new speedo cable for a manual trans or will my current speedo cable work?

Here is a chart and when i do the math from and 8 1/4 to a 8 3/4your new drive line is only
.64 inches longer it might work as long as there is still some room for slip yoke travel.. I like my back end up a little higher than stock so maybe that will alow a little more travel room too

its most likely a internal balanced crank then and if so you will need a non balanced flywheel or so caled neutral

how can i know for sure?

one way is by your harmonic balancer on front of motor .. if its only like 3/4 inch thick its most likely internal balanced and if its a couple inches thick it is external ......also if there were wieghts on the tork converter its a good sighn of external balanced... maybe someone can chime in on this too
being its a 67 motor its mostlikely its a steel crank and internaly balanced

here is a picture of mine ..you can see its about 2 inches or more thick so mine is externaly balanced .with a cast crank...so I had to have a balanced flywheel
