T-56 Swap

Has anyone put a T-56 in a 3rd gen? How hard was it, what did it require and how much did it cost? Did you buy new or used.

I bought mine used for $1600 including retro fit cross member. Im 16 with little experience in cars (the furthest ive been has been porting plenum and runners). I got it done with 2 friends in 3 days. could have been 1 1/2 days if we would have worked straight thru and had better tools.
If you have a AUTO you will have to cut a hole in the floorboard for the shifter and the clutch.
