I'm planning this conversion myself. From what I've gathered you can expect:

Hydraulic clutch cylinder will need to be hung.
Trans tunnel modded substantially.
Torsion bar crossmember trimmed and modified considerably.

The other stuff is a given like quicktime bellhousing, custom driveshaft, etc.

Go to DodgeCharger.com, there's a running thread on a V10 6spd conversion in a 69 Charger, plenty of pics/info....the Pro-Touring sites like Lateral-G.com have many posts on 6 speed conversions (T-56)

Im one of the guys installing one on the dodge charger web site. Plan to completely cut out the trans tunnel and raise/widen it by 2". Torsion cross member also has to be partially removed. Mine is behind a Gen 3 viper motor, however.

There are 2 builds on site - a 69 charger and my 70...
