how hard to convert from 4spd to a hyd 5 or 6spd

My dad has an 83 camaro sport coupe it has a 4cylinder with a 4spd behind it. 1983 didn't have the hydraulic setup like the later 5spds and 6spds did. How hard would it be to convert this over to a 5 or a 6 spd. The engine is in the works, 355ci with about 450hp.

you'd get a better answer posting this in the Transmissions and Drivetrain forum.
