An ordinary blacktop goes for ~$1000-1200. The question is, do you think it's worth spending an extra $1000 for a 6-speed that you don't really need and will mean modifications in order to have it fit properly?

Also, that one doesn't appear to come with an ECU, and they aren't always that easy to find.

I personally have never seen a black top for under $1600. Where do you find them for $1000?
I've heard the BT 6-spd is an amazing improvement. Some people mount the BT 6spd on their 16 valve motor.

*edit* Well I found a 5-spd BT swap for $1200 on ebay that's an hour from where I live.
