There is a complete clutch linkage kit with the pedals I believe for the big block. You need the big block crossmember for 4spd and the big block motor mount stands. Pick up a used 621 bellhousing and muncie trans. driveshaft I think is the same length. Hope this helps.

The Motor stands and crossmember move the engine to the passenger side by 1 inch.
I would recommend a scattershield for the bellhousing. They are not that noticable and protects your motor with a block plate especially considering the value of a 427. More importantly, it protects you by containing the flywheel or clutch componants in the event of a failure. Phil

In my opinion you should put in a five speed if you are going to change the trans to a manual. It wont be stock anyway. You get more torque and better fuel milage for a daily driver that helps.

And I say, if you are going to do a 5 speed then why not do a 6 speed?!!!
