6.0L Conversion: TKO vs T56 I'm considering a 6.0L truck motor with an LS1 intake swap for my 68 camaro. Transmission conversion kits are available for my car in both the TKO 5-speed and T56 6-speeds that align to the original console shifter. The TKO is about $1000 cheaper.
Three questions:
1. Will both transmissions mount to the 6.0L without issues?
2. Is the T56 worth the extra money?
3. I still might consider an automatic... any advise on manual vs. auto?
I'll be using my car primarily for car shows and cruising, with an occasional trip to the drag strip.

I like the stock F-body T56 with 3.70 rear gears in my conversion. If you aren't going to beat on the car all the time, I don't think there's a need for a $5k "bulletproof" tranny.
