some clutch linkage and flywheel inspection cover install. Had to shorten the inside end of the clutch torque shaft by 1 inch.....must have been for some sort of 6 cylinder car originally?!? Fits just fine with the modification. Also sent out the drive shaft......the auto. drive shaft is 4 inches shorter than the one needed for the manual transmission. Have not figured out how to stretch the old shaft to fit the M/T, so a new one is in order. Also received the engine and front wiring harness this morning; is certainly going to clean up the look of the wiring under the hood. (Note: the wiring is laying on top of the motor and has not been installed yet, if an explanation is needed!)

One other note: I really like the look of the aluminum valve covers, once the engine was installed. I had thought about changing them for a pair of the original valve covers which I had chrome plated before the engine was installed, but the more I look at the aluminum ones, the more I like the look. The six-pack air cleaner lid has also been chrome plated, so I'll have to install it, and then decide which way to go. Ben.
