I pretty much just want to bang gears. Basically a musclecar with a trucks body. Hell, I dont care if its all that fast. I just want it to be fun(ner) to drive, and to do burnouts of course.

It will never tow anything, I most likely wont even put anything in the bed.

Future plans are to rebuild the stock rear with axles, a limited slip, and disc brakes. Maybe a 4-link with coil overs instead of leafs.

The engine is in the process of a rebuild now.

The budget is an issue though. I would love to install a nice 6 spd from American Powertrain, but not for $3k. $1500 is about my max, and even for that I will have to save my pennys for a while.

I would be fine with a junkyard camaro trans but I have been told that is not a very good option. I would hate to go through the trouble of a swap only to destroy it. But, again, I am not very educated about these things.
I know the 4spds mentioned earlier are fairly stout. Thanks.
