Can you put an engine that had an automatic trans in a car with a manual trans in...

...a 1985 corvette? I have a 1985 corvette 4sp and i blew ther motor. I haven't ever swapped vette motors before, so i was wondering if a motor out of a auto vette would fit into my 4sp vette? Will it need any extra parts?

You will have to change the fly wheel and install the clutch, witch must be centered after installing a pilot bushing.There is a tool made for clutch alignment, called a pilot shaft. you would then install the bell housing, and while you are in there change the throwout bearing. Then you are ready to bolt the transmission to the bell housing. The very front of the shaft of trans fits into pilot bushing is the reason clutch has to be perfectly aligned.

Yes as long as the bell housing from the auto fits the engine.
