Unanswered: man and auto diffs

I did my search but came up empty handed....
I am in the process of converting my auto to a 4 speed.
is there a difference in the gearing of the auto vs. the 4 spd. rear ends?
this is one of the last things to source.......
TIA

If it is a GT, the answer is no, the 4 speed and the automatic has the same ratio, there was only three ratios imported to the US as standard equipment 3:18 (rare) 3:44 and 3:67 (most Rallye Version cars)

you'll need to install a pilot bearing in the crank...the 4 speed needs one and the automatic wouldn't have had one.
