[Mgs] (no subject)

[Martin C. Galan]

Hi Everyone,
  I may have the opportunity to acquire a 1969 MGC GT. I know the owner and he has a TC and MGB in his garage also. He is turning 73 and says he has no time to put the MGC together.  The MGC has not been used for about 6 years because the automatic transmission gave way. Most of the car is still in good order and the body sound.  
  My questions are; May I swap a manual transmission while I work on the automatic?  Unlike the MGB, what is the parts availability like, considering the MGC had a limited run?
  I plan a show and go car a keeper too.
Thanks in advance,

Martin
