6 speed swap into a 1986 Iroc NEED HELP

Hey all im want to put a 6 speed trans in my 86 iroc right now it has a 700r4 bolted to a tuned port 305 and im looking to convert it to a standard has anyone done this and how hard is it to do i can fabricate almost anything so i have that technology, also if anyone has a parts list of that i would need obviously a tranny and a bellhousing and pedals but where can i find all that stuff is there a kit? and as far as putting it in the car will it bolt in or what will need to be done let me know what you think thanks.

Essentially you need to get the tranny, bellhousing, clutch disc, pressure plate, clutch fork, clutch hydraulics, shifter, pedals, all the bolts and possibly the starter - unless you already have a hi-torque one, from a donor car. Try You-pull-it yards, one of our hallowed vendors here on Third-Gen, or even E-bay.

Buy a new cross member from Spohn. And decide how you want to handle the speedometer issue- 86 Camaros use a cable driven speedo and the factory T-56 is electronic only.

Another option is to get the bellhousing, flywheel, pedals, clutch hydraulics, clutch disc and pressure plate for a t-5 and buy a new "retro-fit" T-56. Then you will need to shorten your driveshaft and torque arm about 2" to make it all work.
