So how much did you end up paying for the swap in total... any pics? and did you also end up changing the differential because the gears are different.
days with the auto one, and the manual gears are a ton better. I paid around
$1500-$1650, including a $437 new clutch kit. I also found most of the parts
from the same person and drove 7 hours to pick up instead of paying shipping.

Did you meet Matt?? Thats my brother. He is on here as either Mattheman or Pettitman. I am not familiar with your car give me the rundown.
Those are noce #'s the most important question is how were your a/f ratios??
Pettit has an awesome facility. I am doing some work to my FD powered FC and hope to dyno in a few weeks and crank it up.
I with I knew you were here I would have hooked up with you and we could have terrorized the local rice.
