Re: 5 speed or auto
If you go 5-speed, you'll have to put a hydraulic clutch cylinder in, because the clutch fork is on the other side with the 5-speeds. There are write ups, but it will take a little fabricating skill on your part.

Re: 5 speed or auto
You said you want to "keep it a stick" what's in there now? You can swap in a TKO-500 like I did, use a muncie bellhousing and a mechanical linkage, since all the clutch stuff if still on the driver's side. I used a hydraulic setup, with a Muncie '621' bellhousing, but I had an auto before, therefore no existing clutch linkage. You wanting a big heavy beast like a NV4500, or more of a street/performance trans like a TREMEC?

Re: 5 speed or auto
I have a TKO 600 with approx 150 miles on it. It's brand new basically. I have the complete set-up for a big block. Hydraulic set-up and all. I want to list it on here for sale but I can't because my account is too new. PM me your email address and I'll email you some pics. Parts I have for the install are as follows:
1) TKO 600 2) Ram dual clutch with billet flywheel 3) Quicktime bellhousing 4) Hydraulic clutch/master cylinder 5) TKO 600 yoke 6) Throwout bearing ****PM sent with my price and cell # also.
