Will it change the value of the car? It depends on how original your car is. If it originally came with a C6 transmission, it's a big block car and those are more valuable. What condition is your car? If it's pristine, it might change the value for the worse. Whenever you modify a car, not everyone is going to care for your modification should you decide to sell. So this could potentially devalue your car somewhat. But if you car isn't original and is a basket case, this could increase it's value.
Are there "kits" available. Yes. There are number of companies that sell tranmissions and kits.
Is a 4 speed (top loader) better than a modern 5 speed? Most ways not. It's older technology and it only has 4 speeds. They cost almost the same used as a 5 speed does new, sometimes more. But, if you're trying to keep the car originally looking, or if your car was originally a 4 speed car, a 4 speed might increase the value.
