Ive got a complete parts list by just requesting a quote. The big one is trans crossmember and the shifter location. Mopars are offset to the driver's side and these transmissions have shifters that are at centerline. The mods that SST does puts the shifter to the left side.
If you could get SST to sell you just the transmission then you could just piece it all together and fab a simple crossmember. They also sell the pedals and the 4 speed hump. For an auto to man. conversion it may be easier (maybe not cheaper) to just go with the "kit". If you already have collected pedals and a 4 speed hump then I would piece it together. I already have the whole TKO kit installed in my car from years ago so I'm going to email them and see if they will just sell the trans due to the TKX being a replacement part for the TKO.

Just judging by the shape and the shifter location, it looks like you'd still be doing a lot of cutting and patching, need a centered shifter location and the whole shift rail area is taller than an A-833.
Now, you also look at installing basically the chevy version and now you need a Mopar to muncie quicktime bellhousing, the aftermarket slave cylinder kits (which honestly I am not a fan of), and still need a GM clutch disk for the 23 spline...and you're on your own for the crossmember, which may also not clear the original torsion bar crossmember. Still buying a driveshaft with a C6 yoke.
I did the T56 Magnum conversion with the ToddRon crossmember, made my own floor with mostly a pre-fab 6-speed tunnel for a Chevelle, took out the aftermarket slave kit and went for a 2002 Camaro slave, driven it for two years and it's still amazing.
Other than the ToddRon crossmember which might actually be better for this also (or make your own slightly smaller version), you save what, $600 over a T56 Magnum on a Mopar? I'd just keep the T56 Magnum honestly.
I attached some pictures so you could see what that looks like. Of course I'm a go big or go home guy for this type of thing.

TKO....The last one they had! Before it leaves I'd spend the coin to have the CF syncros installed instead of the stock bronze....day and night in shifting quality on the TKO

This looks like the overdrive option for manual transmissioned Mopars wanting an overdrive.
They have many ratio combinations available.
This would be my choice:
TCET17805
GM
600 lb-ft 26 spline 2.87 1st 1.89 2nd 1.28 3rd 1.00 4rth 0.68 5th 2.56 reverse
69 Super Bee, 93 Mustang LX, 04 Allure Super
