That would be not so much a "swap" as a fabrication exercise. You have to
add a pedal, remember, with all the associated linkage. I don't know how BMC
did it, but American cars of that era used different floor and tunnel
stampings for manuals and automatics. Then consider, you would be changing
it all back. It would probably be easier to repair/replace the automatic.
