Would you need to also get your hands on a new ECU to work with a manual, or is the transmission's controller separate from the motor's?

(I spoke too soon before having ruled myself out of the SRT-6 chase. This thread has me thinking it might be worth contacting a dismantler/recycler in the UK).
Just installing the mechanicals would be a chore... Can you imagine building a clutch assembly into your floorboard ? Talk about a "MONSTER GARAGE" project...
