a 69' el camino with a stick shift?
Hey guys, i need some help. I have a 1969 El Camino. It currently has a factory original automatic transmission, with the column shifter. I want to put a new engine in it, and i need to know if I can put a manual with a stick shift in it. If so, what do i need to do, and can i keep my current bench seat, or will there be a clearance problem with the stick that requires bucket seats?

Kickinit, you can do it, the problem maybe finding the parts. You'll need the pedal assembly, with clutch linkage, bell housing, clutch assembly, etc. El Cam. were offered with 4-speed and bench seat. Muncie Trans, Shifter was curved to fit around front of seat. You maybe able to find a doner car, not going to be cheap, tho.

68-72 mid size g.m. should work, or easily adapt, cutlass, lemans, chevelles, etc. friend of mine recently yanked his linkage out of his 72 nova after messing with the 4 speed, a lot of work, he went back to auto. unless you're just dying to shift i wouldn't do it.
