Imhping here im not just spitting in the wid but ill try it anyway. I have an 80 cutlass calais that i am redoing. the body is in very good shape but thats not my problem. it only has a 260ci motor in it and thats not enough! I have a 355 chevy sitting on my garage floor in pieces that im thinking about building for it. Its an industrial high nickel block with a steel crank that came out of an old gmc garbage truck. My prob isnt with the motor but i want to scrap the auto trans & put in a manual trans. I know some late 70s regals came out with manual trans. Will that clutch linkage bolt into my 80 cutty? Ide like to put that 355 chevy in there with a 5 spd out of a z28 camaro. Making a few special parts or adapters isnt a big deal as i work in a machine shop and have access to lathes, mills etc. was just wondering if it could (or has) been done and whats involved If this will work where can i find th clutch linkage i need?
