Good article. It looks as though it can go in with almost no mods to the trans tunnel. I like the idea of the 6 spd by a 5spd is waaay more affordable. Maybe in a few years when I'm ready to build my big block manual car they'll have lowered a bit in price.

Mmm...cookies...

It couldn't hurt to ask what they would have to pay, and I'd bet it's cheaper than anything you or I could scrape together...
