Been through this subject before. Try doing a search for it. Most people say it is to expensive and to much work. Here is one post I found, but there are more out there. Hope this helps.

Quick and dirty list of things to replace

Transmission
Transfer case
Driveshafts
Clutch
Flywheel
Starter
Crossmember
Shifter lever
Clutch master/slave assembly
Clutch/brake pedal assembly
Transmission wiring harness
Steering column
Reflash PCM


That's just the quick list from the top of my head lots of other little things

If your buddy has the whole truck that you can pull whatever you need then you'll be ok and able to get everything that you need but it is very labor intensive but can be done.

As for your evo call edge and ask them, I do not think that they have different versions for the various types of transmissions.

Guy at work did it. He used his auto driveshaft, auto steering column, did nothing to the pcm but had to change the tranny tunnel. Also there is a spacer at the back of the block that must be removed to install the 6-speed.
