I want to run a blower with a hood scoop, so I'd like to get a new engine (currently has a 305 TBI). I'd like to get an L99, but I'll probably end up rebuilding a stock third or fourth gen 350 to save money. This is my first car, and I've never taken any mechanics classes so I don't know a ton about this stuff - I'm not sure whether I can run a blower with a TBI or TPI setup or if I need a carb, if I'll need a new rear axel, etc. so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I also want to swap from the stock automatic transmission to a manual. I don't know much about that either, but I think my best bet is again to get a T56 from a third or fourth gen.
It would be awesome if I could find a fourth gen with an ls and manual trans and a posi disk rear end that has a trashed interior/exterior so I could pick it up for cheap and just use the entire drivetrain from it.
I already put a fair amount of money into the car and I'm taking somewhat of a break from spending every minute of spare time working on it, so I don't know when I'll be able to do this stuff. I'd like to get an idea of how much it'll cost me, and if I get good deals maybe I'll be able to start working on this sooner rather than later.
Here's a list of individual stuff I know I need. I'll update this list as I receive parts and find more I need:
I'm also looking for interior parts (here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...nted-92-a.html) and exterior parts (here: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/exte...nted-92-a.html) so check those out and see if you have anything else I'm looking for.
Please tell me how much you want, including shipping to 48323.
Thanks!

Updated list
I'm now looking for a manual transmission and everything needed for the swap, or an entire donor 4th gen with an ls motor and manual trans.
