I was jsut at a car show and admireing the 4 speed cars and thinking how fun it would be to bang gears with a 340 but not sure what it would cost to do so.
My bank account is always in danger when I get bored.
There are some less expensive alternatives to Keisler if you want to put a 5-speed in. Even putting a 4-speed in can be a pretty affordable project if you do some swap meet trolling. I have a customer who got about $500 in clutch and flywheel parts from me and found everything else including a used 4-speed for about $1200. Look for guys who have yanked out the 4-speed to put in a 5-speed and they generally have a bunch of stuff sitting around collecting dust. This forum is probably a great place to put out feelers for the parts you need.
