2009 Ford Mustang Transmission swap

Hello I was curious about about possible transmission swaps... I have a 2009 Ford Mustang (the most basic they sold them) it has non-stock "Ford Racing" V6 it's very quick and sporty engine. I really wanted to know the cost of swapping my 6 speed auto for a 6 speed manual tranny! Looking for the total cost including plastic replacements for the interior (center console), and the underside. Any and all recommendations would be nice. Look ing to keep it very if as simple and basic as I can. Keep in mind the engine isn't stock and most likely neither is the transmission.

What exactly was done to the engine? As far as I know, FRPP doesn't make any special V6's. Perhaps it just has a tune? And the transmission definitely isn't stock, if it's a 6-speed...They didn't offer it in manual or auto. They were both 5-speeds. Someone probably did some serious work, if they swapped in a 6-speed and got it to match up to the 4.0L.

Does it look like this?: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...KeyField=10026

Does it have a dual exhaust as well? If so, then they probably put on the full V6 Power Pack. As far as I know, the only "simple" transmission swap you can do to the 4.0L is gonna be swapping in the stock 5-speed manual. The easiest thing to do would probably be checking around junk yards.

Maybe it just has a cover on it? Upload pics? Need to see what your working with. And if the car is stock like I'd say buy a new car and sell this one. It will be expensive and it will never be perfect.
