I currently have a z28 auto and am looking to swap new heads and cams and a 6 speed in. How difficult is it to install the 6 speed I have seen posts saying something about having to cutting out the floor, maybe? and about needing a new computer? Also if this isn't an impossible task what is the best 6 speed to go with?

 

i dont know why you want to convert from going fast (auto) to being cool (6spd)
if you were road course racing or autoX than i can see needing a 6spd.
you will actually break more parts being a 6spd then having a good trans built and slapping a stall in it.

but to answer your question, im not sure, you may have to cut the floor a little to make the shifter ***. fit

 

You guys will have to forgive me with these questions, my last car was an 01 v6 mustang in high school (went through the windshield of a jimmy as a kid when brakes went out so was forbidden from getting gm until I was out of the house) and I found there is no such thing as a mod in a mustang so I am a little new with these conversions. What exactlly is the 3500+ and as I have looked into them a little more it seems there are 4000 4500 and 5000 do each of these have different outcomes in shifting? If I am going to keep the a4 I need some upgrades that are going to allow the tranny to handle the heads,cam swap. long tube headers and x-exhaust (don't think that'll matter too much), and the sts turbo setup. Believe me I look for power rather than popularity my car is black and missing the popular (Nos sticker, 4' wing, loud rrraaaaaaaaa noise, lights, and space rocket muffler tips). But I have to admit one "popular, pretty" mod I wanna do is find a way to get the zo6 gauge cluster (think impossible) and zo6 front leather seats (maybe possible if seating brackets are interchangeable), because I am not a fan of the camaro seating.

i understand, and im glad you are OK from your accident you had in HS.
if you are going to stay with a cam in the 230's .050 duration, would be perfect for a 4000 stall. heads will make the combo even better.
as for the tranny, look into FLT----------> sponsor, or a GOOD trans builder to make your 4L60E hold atleast 400rwhp for a mild H/C, as for putting a STS on that, damn... thats some power right there... check around and ask other members and the sponsors about building a 60E for you.
your car with a 4K stall, 3.73's, and a mild H/C would be a mean, and bad *** car with a good tune!!! I would be jealous LOL

 

seadoo, why do you feel the need to accuse people who want a M6 of just wanting to be cool? WTF? Has it ever occured to you that other people have different likes and dislikes? Some people like chocolate and some like vanilla. And just because someone has a M6 does not, by any means, make their car slow. Granted, a converter can do a lot, and autos are consistant on the drag strip, but IMO, M6's are more fun to drive. Believe it or not, but everyone has their own preferences.
EDIT - And another thing, if he was to get a converter, why also spend the $ on gears when he can keep the stock ones for the highway mileage, but still get the performance from the converter? Read the sticky on changing gear ratios, you'll see what I'm talking about.
