    Transmission swap for 1980 Z28

    Howdy, I was wondering how hard it would be to swap in a manual transmission into a 80 Z28 that has a th350. I was thinking about going with a t56 but 2000-400$ is out of the question for a car that is going to be used only once I'm awhile, I was also thinking a rock cruncher would be a good...
