From what my uncle has told me, he's the original owner of an 86, you could only get a manual with the 5 litre and the 5.7 was auto only. Anyways with you going to a manual will you attempt to source a 3rd gen center console to accommodate the swap or how will you handle that? Just wondering.

That's correct. 5.7 only available 1987 and later and only with an auto. Could get a 5.0/manual.
Manual swap isn't too hard. Need to cut the hole for the shifter, replace the top console plate with one for a manual car and cut the hole for the clutch master cylinder. The rest of the parts pretty much swap over from a manual 3rd gen or 4th gen.
Nice IROC OP. I had a black/gold '86 with the same interior. LG4/5-speed
