I'd guess you've already taken care of it.

By announcing your intentions on the list, at least 15 people have 
already tracked you down (despite the fact that you didn't give your 
address) and are at your car right now, removing the overdrive 
transmission and installing a standard one, all in hopes of their 
getting the OD tranny.

Take a look out your window! :-)

Seriously though,  all that's involved is replacing the tranny and 
driveshaft. If you want to convert the tranny, back to non OD spec, then 
it gets more complicated.

I would just go with a swap.
