i have a 1972 chevy long wheelbase pickup, and i am going to put a big block in it but i want to keep it a manual transmission. i have heard i can use a newer model 5 speed trans. i have seen all kinds of automatic setups but no sticks and also i am wondering if it is even possible. which i guess with a welder and a torch anything is possible but i don't want to get in that deep. thanks any info is welcome....
