5 spd. conversion thread

a little update. yesterday,1-5-11,was f'n disaster! i messed around with some little things while waiting for help. long story short,the motor wasn't leaned back enough to let the splines engage. knocked the exhaust loose,then loosened the motor mounts,then the oil pan is into the center link. of course,it says in the instructions to knock it off,but where's fun in going by the instructions! so i don't have a tie rod separator,off to my buddy down the road and get his.
i am going back out this morn to knock the center link off and get the motor laid back somehow! if i can get ths damn thing in i can check the fitment,measure for the driveshaft,and temp. screw the tunnel cover on before welding it in. pray for me! lol!
