I would not go with a 6 speed. I have a 6 speed in my Cobra now behind a 383 SBC. With 4.56 gears in 6th, it cruises at 2200 RPM. That is great, but I swear 1st gear ends at about 10 mph. I just switched to 3.73 gears, but have not driven it yet. 6th in my trans is .54.

Mine has a Lakewood blowproof bellhousing with an adapter to use the T56. I found a 2005 GTO shifter and modified it to work so the shifter now sits on the inspection cover about 13" forward of it's original position.
