I am currently replacing my 5th gen's driveline from a 229 six to a small block 327 or 350. the original car came with the th350 backing the six. i would like to up the fun factor by adding a five speed behind the small block. my only problem is that the car was never equiped for a standard. i was wondering if the mounts and everything on the body is there or not. i looked under the dash and i'm almost certain that there is a clutch pedal mount. but i not sure how to go about getting the parts and components for a clutch and linkage. i would like to run a mechanical clutch but a hydro would do. if anyone has any advice please let me know. thanks

Check elcaminostore.com, they have the complete linkage setup for sale. I believe it was $425 for the set. You could also check out montecarloss.com too, there are a few guys there that have done this swap on their monte's using a hydralic setup from f-bodies.
