I am doing a T5 conversion on my 70 coupe. It's an I6 3speed car. What I need:

T5 w/ shifter
Trans to Bell housing Adapter
T5 Crossmember

And that's it. I MIGHT have to get my driveshaft shortened. A lot simpler than I thought it'd be. I just picked up a T5 from pick and pull today because they are having 50% off all weekend. $91 out the door (will get $30 back when I take in a core).
