Thanks wheelman. No, I haven't gotten around to purchasing the JTR manual yet, but it is on my to do list. I'm not ready to actually start my conversion, so I was going to concentrate on the body first. Then when I was ready, pull the motor and transmission to and finish my project.
Let's say that I wanted to convert to the 700R4. Is that any more difficult? I suppose I would just need to remove the stock clutch pedal and let her rip......huh?
