You will need alot more than that depending on which transmission you use.
v160, r154,or w58.

..what chevy 5-speed trans are you trying to put in your SC? Most 5-speed transmissions I can think of from Chevy will be physically to large for the tunnel..not to mention the cost of custom mounts, drive shaft, adapter plate, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, etc., etc...I think it would still be cheaper to go with an R154 and call it a day.

im sorry i should have stated what im doing. Im droping a chevy small block (355 carb) into my lexus sc300. i have custom motor mounts, a chevy 5 speed trans. my mechanic says its 3,500 to do everything i just need to get him the parts to convert the auto into a manual. He told me he need the pedal asembly, clutch and brake master cylender. does this sound about right to you guys?

your brake master cylinder should be fine. youll have to get the smaller brake pedal from the manual car or cut yours down, and then the pedal/master cylinder combo for the clutch. from there on out youll probably need to make a line for the master to slave cylinder.
