Converting to manual, got some parts!!!

I finally got my hands on the pedal assembly to convert my 72 Gran Torino to a manual trans. Now that I have that out of the way what else do I need? I'm hoarding parts until I can do this all in one fell swoop. Also does anyone know how much power a T-56 can handle stock? I'm sure there are plenty of wrecked cars out there with them in there that I shouldn't have too much trouble finding one, or even possibly getting an aftermarket one.

Go to perogie.com and they have a list for the swap.
Have fun! And well worth the effort!

I found the pedal assembly on Craigslist, as for the T56, well I don't have one yet.
