Did you use all Mal Wood parts for the conversion? You'd be the first i've found using the Mal Wood conversion kit.
Did everything line up well and fit? Did you get the headers from Mal Wood also? Much clearance?

I bought the 6 speed kit from him, but my car was already manual. Everything fitted perfectly, but with little room to spare. We had to remove the drivers side header to get the box in, then fit it back after.

Cruizer: its not running yet, finding the time to get work done isn't in my favor at this stage.
stretchomatic: that's what im hoping for. at this stage i see the IRS holding it back but will cross that bridge when it goes.
Thanks for the comments guys (and girls for any one thats confused)
