Has this ever been done before? And if so, is it possible to do without to many modifications to the car? Any help or info would be nice.

its been done. ive considered it myself. but i think the mods are something along the lines of cutting the shifter hole a bit bigger, maybe the tranny tunnel. but that would be about it honestly

Ya I kinda figured that would be the case, That means I would also have to remake the center console tho. Thanks for the info. Hmm... The T-56 is a straight swap except for the drive shaft wasn''t it?

I believe that there 5 shfter position on the TKO 500 when i had it priced it out the things that i needed to change were the bell housing, tranny cross member the backup light sending unit, and yolk and of coures the cluch but there was no talk about cutting the hole any bigger. but i have not done this yet.

Sounds just like the T-56 Swap but you get a racing tranny instead of a 6 speed
