if its a gonna be a mild street/strip car, you can't go wrong with a t-56 or a built 700R-4. The question is which do you prefer, manual or auto and how much do you have or want to spend my friend?

well the t-56 or the tremec series of 5sp or TKO 6sp is as good as you'll find in manual trannies, good luck with the swap.
