Is there a cheap option to getting an auto behind a 2f engine?

How much work is involved with changing to an auto?
I have never driven an auto cruiser but i assume it will be a touch nicer than manual... right?
Cheers

pros and cons to an auto,sure its nice to not have to change gears,but can be fun off road going down a steep incline,theres all sorts of things u can do with autos to help though,cheap options is to stick to a manual,especially with the 2f,autos set up right can be costy,but set up right can be great,have u considered going to a 60 series 5 speed,im asuming u have a 4 speed?
