Or throttle body.....

To many people ask these questions yet when they get answers, cost seems to get in the way.
Sub-par parts in a stick car will cost more in the long run. They will hurt performance. They will break parts. They will cause un-due frustration. They will take all the fun out of the equation.
So my advice is do it right or don't do it at all.
A Sportsman single 10" clutch / pressure plate and light-weight flywheel offered by a SS/J racer (PM me if you can't figure it out) is around $2100 and includes all the consultation you will need. A QuickTimeInc bellhousing is around $450? A Jerico with shifter is around $3K.
As I said, do it right and do it once. Otherwise there are a lot of PowerGlides available for sale here.
