t56 into 84 Caprice
 
I have the ability to get a $150 dollar Caprice with no rust but a bad transmission.

It has the 305 V8 and is absolutely pristine, and I've always wanted a 6 speed Caprice or panther platform Ford (Hence the Town Car I own waiting for it's own t3650 or t56), but I don't know how feasible it is in a Caprice.

I have no money into the car up front so I am not worried about the cost of parts, especially since I am going to be doing the work myself, I just want to know if anyone has done it before, or know of a "parts list" that would be required to do this swap. Or any tips on how to make life easier.

The transmission I would use is a t56 six speed, probably out of a 4th gen (5th gen? The one from the 90's) Camaro.

Thanks for any input!

Why not just put a used transmission in and enjoy it? You'll be done much quicker!
