I guess the only problem with the stick shift conversion is that Barry's car has a V-8 in it. That creates a real parts problem...
Tim, true. The scarcity of V-8 manual shift bell housings and flywheels is a real problem, but the nasty to get parts for the shifting for a 51-54 are still out there.
Probably some other auto trans is a better answer. Recently saw a '54 Panama with a Torque Flite trans. Engine was S-8. Even the shift quadrant had been nicely modified to show the TF pattern.
