Like ALL of us, I'm sure, money is ALWAYS an issue! If it weren't, I'd 
just buy a Keisler. I already have a 4-spd in the Polara...I want a 
5-spd in the Dakota because I drive it 50 miles a day to work and it 
already gets 17mpg, I don't want to make it worse. I also like the 
closer ratio and shift throw of the 5-spds. What is the T56 out of?
