Thanks so much. The people on this forum have been so helpful.

The Muncie, W/4 on the floor Hurst shifter, was the thing in my day. Auto trannys are fine, but since this car has three pedals already - well, I know what I have to do. I would like to do the rebuild myself, so, perhaps someone knows of a good book for a guy like me. I'm pretty mechanically adept, but just have never done a manual or auto trans before. Other than not buying American, I have no problem with euro or asia parts. This car will not be seeing huge torque anyway. After all, it will retain the stock 57 rear, and I don't want to change that out.

Thanks again for the tips. Rad
