I've decided to take the plunge and manual-trans swap my '76 Charger. I'm eying a TKX swap for the deeper lower gears and a slightly higher overdrive than what I've currently got, but mainly I'm doing it because I miss having a row-your-own box in a car. It made owning a Chevy Cruze tolerable enough (even if that car was a steaming pile...) and it made the '87 Diplomat I had back in the day nothing short of a legend.

Currently, the only thing I've got sorted are the pedals. A 1971-74 pedal kit with a Malwood USA under-dash hydraulic system fits like a charm. The bellhousing will remain LA small-block. Currently, the original 360 will stay put, and I haven't decided between a small-block build or a Gen III swap. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Since I only have seen one other late-B that's been swapped (and I'm pretty sure that '76 Fury was packing a stock A-833 system), I'm reaching out to anyone who has done this in a '71-up car. Any advice?
