Anyways, it is an RTX16709B and I am trying to understand if this can be converted to a 13 speed? Anyone have some details on the prospects.

it can be done. just be careful where you buy it, and if there is any type of guarantee with the sale for x amount of months or miles.
possible too, that any bracing may be needed, extra labor as well. i'd also recommend maybe replacing the rear main oil seal on the engine, if only there happens to be "seepage", which may lead to a full on drip/pouring out of engine oil.
i'd also spring for an "easy clutch" as well, especially if your current one makes your left leg tired after a few hours of driving.
