6 Speed Swap

[courage 80]

I have the 65 step side. It has a 350 from a 74 C-10 in it from the PO. It still has the original 4 speed granny tranny. The truck is geared pretty low, as most of them are from this time frame. It has a tow package on the back so I think the PO used it to pull a trailer. ANYWAY. 60 mph on the highway is about tops for me... speed limit is 75 mph.... so I get a lot of compliments about my truck (i.e. Nice truck, get off the highway.)

I found a deal on a 6speed transmission out of a trans am/camaro with all the parts. The guy wants to put in an auto.

I need a little input on possible problems that I will incur, so I can adjust my budget.

1) is it possible to use a mechanical clutch vs a hydraulic clutch.
2) Will the trans bolt up to the engine (input shafts, bell housing)
3) Other problems / obstacles that I will have to be aware of?

I know the shifter will be back further---------
----bucket seats will probably get put in anyway as the bench is shot
I will need to put in a brace for the new transmission
-----Friend has welder or buying one of the after market braces for $160
I know the speedo sensor on the trans is electric vs mechanical
-----I will use a hand held GPS as a speedo for now
