16valve manual to auto

Hi folks
Now I have my 2 litre sorted, I am wondering what the logistics would be to replace the MT75 with an auto box?
I know that it would be slower but that does not bother me.
Anybody done this?
What am I going to need?
Thanks in advance.
Geoff

Would be so easier & cheaper to buy a 2.0L auto 
Could be a electrical nightmare unless you fit a old style non electronic box.

Thanks for the inputs guys
Tempted to have a go in any case, any other thoughts on issues, challenges or ways of getting it done.
Is propshaft same or different?
What about mountings / transmission tunnel?
What about bellhousing and drives?
Or do I get an engine with box?
What additional electrical connections?
Is VSS same on auto/manual?
I know it may be cheaper to go out and buy a donor

Only on this forum could you have 'manual to auto' sitting above an 'auto to manual' thread 
I'm thinking mainly about the wiring, you'd need a new engine loom at the very least. I'd try and pickup a good auto donor and make a good one Small things like the VSS can be sorted later, your main issue is to get the engine/box into the car.
Regards, Bruce.

At least the ARB does not get in the way of dropping the box on the scorpio, unlike the Granny and Sierra...
