Here's some of the goodies!






Swan Neck Shifter with Marlin Crawler Bushing. (Recommended)



R154 Transmission with Howe Racing Hydraulic Throwout Bearing. I'm waiting on the adaptor plate to get done at the machine shop as well as the shifter extension.



Yesterday I switched out the Automatic Brake Pedal. Very easy!



Big Difference!

did you buy the files from Ed over at V-eight? How much did it cost to get the plate cut?

Looks good though

yea I did it cost $25. We haven't ran it yet though. I'm still waiting for them to finish up a job that they have and then comes my plate and the shifter extension. I was thinking of doing the extension at home but I don't want to screw it up lol.

Yeah I know damn sensor lol. Aaron from Driftmotion called me and told me he'll refund me back the money or if I want to wait. I said i'll wait cause I really need that sensor. Yes i can but i have everything at home. I'm at work right now so i'll do it later on tonight. you need the whole kit or what do you need?
