I did the swap, yeah, kind of a PITA...the directions I found were crap and I threw them out in 30 minutes, but still got the swap done...if you're serious, email me.

I did the swap over the summer. It took me and my friend a weekend to complete. The biggest PITA were the pedals and master cylinder. If you have any specific questions, email me.

I've also done the swap. It's involved but not that difficult. Like it was said before, cutting the hole for the clutch master cylinder is probably the most difficult part.
I have a clutch/brake pedal assy if you want it. Name your price.

Country Boy, I did the swap in a Saturday. I bought a crossmember before I started, so the whole thing was bolt-in. Only modifying was the two inch cut in the floor for more shifter clearnace.
By the way, I bought the transmission over there by you in Brandon.
