i lived in seattle ( bellevue ) not far from park place for 5 yrs , but never dealt with them . a 5 spd is a perfect trans for any area, especially the terrain in washington state . bill.

...Thanks for the tip, I see used sp's with big blocks are selling for 50 and small blocks for 35. I should probably mention that I am a 68 yearold poser and the car will never be driven in anger. There is a Ford Racing 351 M-6007-58 with 250hp and 350 lbft of torque and that will be more than enough for me...
