And boat anchor.

That new Mal Wood box is a bargain.

I paid 2 grand more than that 2 1/2 years ago.

I wouldn't bother with a s/h one.

you will need a new crossmember for sure.

you can use your t5 stick im pretty sure..

only thing to do other than that is wire up the reverse lockout to the brake pedal. you will also need an xr8 tailshaft yolk!
