Exclamation Transmission Swap

I don't know if I posted this in the right area or not but I'm been looking for a new camaro but can't find one with a 6speed in it with what i want from the rest of the car or they are too expensive. How hard would it be to swap out a 4l60e transmission to a t56 transmission?

Scroll down to Chassis, suspension, appearance and then to transmissions.

Everybody over there has done this swap.

Good point. Why would you do this? Automatics are faster than stick cars anyways...

I'm looking to make it my weekend car that I can go and take the ttops off and just cruise around and enjoy the weather. I'm gonna fix it up and do upgrades later down the road.
