I was just wondering if anybody here lives anywhere near MA and could point me to a place that could do a transmission swap from the standard 4 speed to a 5 speed in an '89 f-body? B/c I've always wanted to do this mod but I don't have the expertise or the equipment to do it myself. Ultimtaely I'd like to find sombody who did it to his own f-body and would be willing to do it again for some cash, but I've given up on that.

I can't really answer your question, but if you haven't found this yet, here's an article detailing the swap.
