V6 3 speed manual

Again, thanks you for all the posts.
I’m wanting to keep the original trans, just because this will be an occasional driver. Yeah, it’s an inferior tranny, but that will make it all the more unusual too. I’m going for the one of a kind A body. Tons of slants and V8s that look and perform really awesome. My Dad’s being an example, 416 stoker 340, 4 speed, 8 3/4”.....I like something that hasn’t been done. I wanna turn heads and have people doing double takes when they see my car..”was that a....dis you see....”. That’s me.
Keep it coming people, I need all the input I can get.
