David -
Congrats on making the plunge! You are a smart and wise man, for sure.
The Centre Shift and Side Shift gearboxes on the six cylinder are the exact
same gearbox and bell housing, only the gearbox housing itself is
different. It will all mate up, no special parts needed. The one
difference is you will need the centre shift tunnel cover... that is
different.
