looking very smart

i was thinking of putting 2 ½" cuts across the manifold flange on mine, between the 3 ports to allow for heat distortion

On the Passenger side you have to to get it to clear the dipstick tube

Are you using auto box?

[custom]

an auto box please dont swear at me just trimmed the adapter plate a little bit so that it would fit past nice and snugly its the easiest way no pissing about that way will get some pics tommorow if anyone wants them

[OxtonyxO]

did you cut the bell housing then?

[Luke]

will get some pics tommorow if anyone wants them

yes please - not doubting you but i cant see how you managed that without cutting the box's bellhousing too yours is BOA int it

yep just have to cut a slot in the side of it not much needed really and in no way does it make any difference to the gearbox
