i know most of what's involved. it's more of a question of whether or not it's worth it to go through it all.

here's a rough list of what i'll need (off the top of my head):
  • T56 off an Fbody
  • short throw kit and a new shift arm
  • LS6 or LS7 clutch (preferably)
  • flywheel off an Fbody
  • stronger clutch hoses
  • custom tail shaft to connect to transfer case
  • shorter drive shaft
  • new front & rear differentials
  • carpet from an automatic (to cover the old shifter hole)
  • computer retune
  • possibly a flywheel spacer (depending on how it mates to the 4.3)

lots of stuff & labor. i'd also probably lose my middle seat (which i use somewhat often) due to the new shifter. if so, there's a few guys who make shifters that will work with a Tahoe console to fill the empty space. that's even more work & money.

AAHHH!!! decisions!!!
