Another manual idea

So the V6 Camaro and Firebird use a 3800 and both have rwd manual setups. Why cant we bolt on those for a manual conversion vs. the Gretag?
 


1. there is no way it will fit
2. it is designed to have one drive shaft leave to tail housing
3. see number 1
4. see number 2
5. repeat.
 


it was just a theory, everyone says the gretag pretty much bolts right up I assumed the camaro 5spd would do the same
 
So pretty much you want to ditch the factory sub frame, transmission, and most of the unibody, create all custom pieces to remount the engine, and trans, then run a drive shaft to the rear and completely redo the rear suspension to mount an axle. sounds like a lot of pointless work to me.
 
its a hell of a lot more fun than an automatic fwd. And if you run the driveshaft through the exhaust tunnel on the 04+ itll work. youd need to rework the exhaust but could work. Nothing worth doing is ever easy
 


You could sell your grand prix for 3000, then buy a 10 second camaro easily enough. Seems stuipd to put 100+ hours into basically building car from scratch.

you forgot about rerouting the exhaust.
