First rule of the hot rodder, anythings possible. I contacted American Powertrain a few years ago about putting a manual setup in my Town Landau. They have all the pieces, full instructions, even include the trans, pressure plate, etc...but it was EXPENSIVE. Like, north of 6 grand expensive. I'll see if I can't find My original estimate.

OK, just under $6K. Not bad for what you get.

I'm saving for it, I hope to get it all done by the end of the year. I'll be installing a close ratio unit.

I am not sure if T56 is you're only option, but there are members who have swapped a Tremec T5. I don't know of anyone who's done a T56 yet.

I love a 5 or 6 speed. I'm installing a 5 speed into the red '72 wagon, but after driving my Dodge Cummins with a 6 speed, I gotta say that extra gear sure spreads the torque out more evenly.
