Be that as it may, I don't like automatics. If I found a pretty rough Turbo Regal and did a nice build with a T56 swap, I doubt people would be slapping me in the face.

Some have tried it, but most say that the thrust bearings arent going to hold up to a manual transmission. The series II 3.8 engines in the f-bodies are set up alittle different and seem to handle a manual just fine.

yeah, but they were way slower than the auto's so it never caught on...

you prolly wouldn't get slapped, putting a six speed in a TR is more frowned upon than anything...just like masturbating in an airplane
