GenIII Hemi w/5-Speed Supra Trans?

You know, magnumdust, I hear what you're saying, and as much as I hate to say it cause I so vehemently disagree with you in other areas ( ;) ) you're probably right. It's the budget that's gonna do a lot of the dictating on this one, and this one little pet peeve I have. If I could tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was going to own this car till I breathed my last, I'd hack away. However, because it is the car that it is, I am trying to keep any "upgrades" required for my "vision" to bolt-on. Should a later owner decide they want to take it back as close to factory original as possible, it would be easily doable.

The "motivation" for this car came after we almost bought an R/T 6-speed Challenger, so I LOVE the idea of the T56...
