How much were you looking to spend? I know a good number of guys that are selling 70 - 73 cars. A friend of mine just sold his 72 SS with a 408 in it for 7k. The engine had over 9k in it alone. He just got tired of it.

right now I would like to trade my bike for one, here in the next couple of months I will have a couple $k to spend

my ideal trade would be for a 70-73 or 74-78 little to no rust, 5speed car, no drive train plus a little money for the bike
because I have a motor, and I'll just buy a trans, in other words I want a project car kinda thing ya know?

maybe around 4k if someone happens to buy the bike

I don't know the resale value of the Gixer, but getting a 70-73 with a 5 speeed may be a stretch. They didn't ever come with one so some one had to spend the extra coin to put one in. I have looked into it and for me with, using my bellhousing and clutch would be around 2500 for the swap.

I have some good pics way back in my thread of the z bar install. And could post some more of the pedals. There are a few in there somewhere after the hole is cut and the four speed hump sitting there.

77nomad, thats a very good write up, did the manual pedal assembly bolt up on the inside?
is there a kit for the swap?

Here is where the rod attaches to the pedal. And another shot of the colume seperated, so I could pull the auto pedals and intall the manual. There is a kit for pedals on ebay, the company is called Tamaraz.Name:  006-8.jpg

thanks 77nomad, here is a hard one
I'm going to look for a T56 trans, (I'm not too deep in chevys yet so I dont know) but will it work well with the clutch system in the 2nd gen camaro?
