Yes it is a straight bolt-on swap...if you don't mind removing the
engine and bolting on a new flywheel, bellhousing,propellor shaft,
etc. If you're going to go to the expense, check out the 5-speed t-5
conversions available. The first two are suppliers and the last two
links offer lots of background and discussion.
