With that said; if you are planning a 6 speed swap, the easy button solution is the Mazworx cast bell housing kit.
If not, then bell hosuing adapter, machining the bell housing, shifter mod, driveshaft, reverse and neutral switches to be wired in and speed signal need to be sorted.
Its several thousand no matter how you look on it. So do yourself a favor and accept it's going to be that much unless you are patient enough to find a smoking deal. Then when you decide, just choose your poison (cut and shut, Mazworx bell cast bell housing or adapter plate)
P.S This is the CD009 swap afterall. However, you do have another Z chassis option; The NA Z32 (those can be had for cheap) swap is a cost effective 5 speed option that will handle 500+ W torque all day long, which comes in much cheaper. You can be all in for less than 1K if you go that route. Apart from that, it's all going to cost you.
Good luck!

Thanks for the response. I may instead look into the z32 conversion. I know that this is the cd009 thread, but you said that I could be all in for less than 1k, if I was to go the z32 route. From which company? I know xcessive makes a kit, but I've heard some horror stories, plus the fact that you have to use a different starter. Mazworx is pretty good stuff, but I believe over 1k?
