Thanks!

On the transmission... It is usually easier and less expensive to swap in an automatic transmission. I can rebuild them myself.

I also have a pretty fast Cbevy II drag car, that is street driven. It had run a 9 second quarter mile. It has a blown 427, close to 700 HP. I have a manually shifted automatic transmission in it. I spent less than $1000 building the transmission. It would cost 3 or 4 grand for a manual transmission and clutch that would hold up.

I'm about half way home from NYC.... the suburban is still doing OK.
