I would love to do a manual transmission, but with my budget I am not sure buying all the conversion pieces would be very cheap. I was planning on just swapping a 200r4 or is it 2004r? in and calling it good.

I was always turned off on the T5's because there was an article in a magazine a while back and the TQ rating for them is pretty low. Maybe I am mistaken.

It would definitely be a low buck swap for someone who already has all the manual parts, and a five speed would be cool.

I thought of a torque arm sort of like what Hot Rods to Hell does. I figure my stock suspension is decent I plan on going to some stronger control arms and stuff.

Ya I think the B body spindles are the way to go. I can get em out of the junkyard and maybe run the brakes off the donor car as well.

Really haven't done much research though since I still have rust and stuff like that to fix.
