There are 3 running LS4/Manual transmission setups in Fieros to date. Two used the G6 F40 6 speed manual, the other used the acura NSX 5 speed with an adapter plate. Mine kept the E67 ECM, the other two used microsquirt.
To mate the engine/transmission, you will need a starter solution and a flywheel/clutch solution. I have shared how I solved these issues in my build thread, either the one linked to here on LS1 Tech, or this one:

The other F40 used a LS1 tilton button flywheel and a 7 1/4" clutch setup with a custom HTOB setup and welded the starter mount to the transmission case. You can see the details here:

Beyond the starter/flywheel/clutch, you will need mounts, axles, shifter, shifter cables, and clutch pedal with associated hydraulics. None of these items have been sorted for the OEM LS4 applications.
Since I am running the E67 ecm with a modified LS4 calibration and kept the TCM wired up, the ecm side is quite simple, just need someone who can turn off all the TCM DTCs (HP Tuners can't, but TunerCat can)
