I'm sure you can, but there's no direct hookup, or anything like it. You'll have to do a lot of custom fabrication on mounts and so on. There was never a 5spd attached to the 3100sfi, so your guess is as good as anyone's on which transmission to use.

The fellow you need to talk to is bszopi (Brad) over at 60 Degree V6 (http://www.60degreev6.com/). He is currently working on a 5spd. swap for the 3100 V6 in his Beretta.

Heheh...sure he is, but he's nowhere near finished. :P

No, but there are others, such as heavywoody (Geoff Morrow), who have - and they have pics and instructions, as well as the parts required.

So, it's a good spot to go, isn't it?
