Default Thinking about going auto trans.

As the title says I have been thinking about going auto. But I dont know which route to go. So I figured what the hell and see what some of my fellow texans say

Dont know if I want to go 4l60 or th350 or something else?
But what ever I do go I would have to trade for it

How hard is the swap? And the car is a weekend warrior for now and hasnt been driven in quite a while. So I figure something new will make me want to waste gas in it
