Hey guys a couple people have asked about 4 speed conversions. I have done these swaps to A, B, and E bodies before. I just recently saw a quote from Brewers for the parts to convert an auto car to stick. I think it was in the $3500 range and I thought I would put out a list of parts you will need and what you could find them for. I have done swaps on my back in the drive way and also on my lift at the shop. On my back I could do one in two weekends with no power tools other than my mig welder. At the shop I can do it in a long day with every power option available. I comb the swap meets here and find good deals which make it even cheaper to do the swap, so some saavy shopping will make your day. I just recently bought a trans with bell housing shifter rods and handle for $150 at a swap meet.
Flywheel used $100 swap meet or craigslist
Flywheel bolts $24.35 ebay
clutch kit (pilot bearing, disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing) $399.95 Summit Racing
Bell housing $125 ebay

Pedal to Z bar rod $59.95 Brewers
Boot for the rod above $6.95 Brewers

There is a guy on Moparts selling a lot of parts for a pretty reasonable price. Also Carlisle is coming up and walking the swap meet there will probably net you some good deals. Do your home work first and know what your looking at and what the casting numbers are.
