I went with American Powertrain on my 68 Camaro T56 swap and they’re definitely a reputable company. I actually ended up not using a good portion of the kit including the crossmember, hydraulic clutch MC, reservoir, and firewall bracket, etc. I still have it in boxes. Doing it again, not buying those things twice would’ve saved me a considerable amount but I wanted the install to be more “factory” looking so I went with DSE firewall bracket and a newer Camaro style clutch MC and Bowler’s crossmember. I’ve been very satisfied with the parts and service from American Powertrain. Me personally, for the money, I’d go 6 speed, especially since there’s a strong likelihood that you’ll have to modify the trans tunnel anyway to get the proper driveline angle and keep things tucked up tight. With my setup, at 70mph I’m cruising at 2200 rpm with 3.73 gears.
