Goodyman, I figure a ace mechanic such as yourself would be working one of these newfangled 5 or 6 speed setups into your hot-rod... If Kiesler can make a kit all the parts are out there.
Kiesler = Big $$$! I'd love to do a 5-speed even more so, however the cost is through the roof for a 'kit' ($4,000-$5,000 range). I lack in fabrication skills, which I have zero of! So currently i'm vulnerable to 'kits' and pre-figured things. Many 'variables' with aftermarket transmissions though, pilot bushing, flywheel, clutch, bellhousing, linkage, size/location, shifter location, etc, etc. Not saying I would have to buy kiesler's kit in entirety, stuff like a hyd clutch and such I bet I could fend for myself, the rest for a 5speed is almost best left to 'those that have been there, and built it'. I'd like a new gen Hemi in my car someday, 5speed would be perfect....can't have everything at once, I start my career the first of the year...we'll see how things pan out.
'Perfect' setup would be a turbo 5.7, 5speed, independant rear and some gnarly brakes
