    Is there an off the shelf 5 speed solution to putting a 5-speed manual
    aft of a Slant 6? Or would getting a Lakewood scattershield be less
    trouble? I'm thinking either Tremec or Richmond Gear, although there is
    probably a Getrag that would do fine and available out of junkyards.

    A Clark, beloved of school bus drivers since Marilyn Monroe was alive,
    would be obvious-obviously too big for a car, that is.

    More or less, yes. A Dakota 5spd with an adaptor plate works fine. Toyota
    Celica boxes have also successfully been used. This topic has been
    discussed frequently at www.slantsix.org .

    It's too bad, isn't it? you'd enjoy all that double-clutching.

    AFAIK the Clarks were full synchro on all gears except first. Which
    made floating the gears tough.
