Manual ls400 project
So Ive been slowly purchasing parts to convert my 90 ls into a w58 5spd. I only have a few more things to buy then im going to start the work over winter while the car is in storage. I was wondering if anyone had any decent ideas as to what to do for a nice looking shift bezel I was hoping to be able to keep it looking stock but im open to anything at this point. Idk if anyone else on this forum has done this swap before but I was wondering what sized driveshaft will be needed (length from yoke to yoke using stock ls400 differential) so I could order that beforehand and save some time. otherwise ill just get the car towed to a shop and have them take the measurements so I have no fitment issues.

I'm going this route as well and I was wondering what clutch pedal you're going to use? Did you also relocate the clutch master or how are you going about this? Because the engine bay is pretty cramped.

I'm using a reverse swing CNC clutch pedal I actually bought it from a forum member cashflo he also makes brackets for them to make installs a lot easier. The master cylinder is mounted to the pedal under the dash but it comes with a remote resivoir to mount in the engine bay but its not that big.
