Need help! Researching 6 speed swap.

I know this question has been asked before but I just seem to remember. Is there a manufacture out there that sells a complete conversion kit for the third Gen F-body to swap out an automatic trans for a 6-speed manual? Any info or web link or phone number would be appreciated.

Looks at the very bottom of the page, they list a couple T56's. Also check the tech articles on here for how to do the swap.
