Going manual
Anybody mind throwing out a parts recommendation for an auto to manual swap in a 59?
Installing a 351w. Stock bottom end (refreshed) with AFR heads and Edelbrock air gap intake. Holley sniper carb. Looking like 380 tq and around 420 horses. Lunati roller cam. 221/229 at .050, 112* lobe.
I received a quote for $4600 from a tko supplier.
Before I drop my first born on a more enjoyable ride experience, I’d like some advice on the matter.
Moderately inexpensive.....
zf 5 with a short shift. Hydraulic throw out bearing. New driveshaft/bell housing.... various odds and ends
sounds like a headache?
t5 - would require s10 rear housing. Mechanical gear relocation or gps speedo. A number of friends use them down at the drag and swear by the world class.
unreliable?
m5odr2 - same as zf 5 - heard nothing but negative reviews.
im not going to beat the **** out of the truck. It’s a duly driver, but I’ll get on it from time to time like anyone would with 400 horses. Maybe 1-2 times a year at the track.

Would the stock hydraulics operate a hydraulic throw out bearing? Do guys add the slave cylinder versus the hydraulic bearing? I went into the thread search bar up top and tried searching T5 and a few other transmissions, but no dice. I went through 20 pages with no information.

Will the brake/clutch pedal assembly bolt right up or will I need to do some drilling/retrofitting?
