I am interested in installing a GM 4-speed stick in my 66 Riviera instead of the ST400. I want to keep the Nailhead too....Has anyone ever seen this done before? Anyone done it themselves? I see that you can buy a bellhousing for this, but what about a pedal setup. I know that Riv's never had a manual transmission option, but I think it would be cool. Any help would be appreciated.
I have seen one. It used to be in Virginia. One year he brought it to the TRR. He said the conversion was difficult.
Bendtsens sells a complete manual setup, bell housing, flywheel, pressure/clutch disc, release bearing. They are at www.transmissionadapters.com
No, I didn't do this....not yet anyway. I am going to stick with an automatic until I get the money to do this.
