5.7 swap questions?

Funny was just thinking about ripping the 440 out of my '68 fish and putting in a 6.1....than voila jump on here and heres this thread! Great information!! As far as the manual with either viper 6spd or Keisler do you still use the stock pedals, z-bar, ect.? As much as i'd love to do the 3g swap, while writing this I had the sudden epiphany that maybe not such a great idea...I'd order a part and have to decide whether to put it in the truck or car....
