64 thunderbird automatic change over to manual

I have been toying around with the idea of swapping the automatic for a 5 speed ..Its going to cost me at least 900.00 and perhaps as much as 1600 with shift kit I figure I can hire it done for 6-8 hundred maybe ???? Anyone have any comments or ideas ... pro and con comments would be great..I plan on keeping the car stock in every other way.....I just think a 5/6 speed would be a
so darn cool...Also the pinion gears would be need changed ????
thanks for your time

auto to manual

After reading what all was needed to complete the transformation ,I have decided to go and have my transmission rebuilt ..Way to much for a older guy {69+} to be involved with.... My every day driver is an old corvette and getting in and out of it is getting harder by the day..The T bird was to be my new grocery getter..
just a quick though popped into my head...Would there be any advantages to a C6 over a C4 /FMX / cruise o matic..Just wondering
anyway thanks for your time
