Well since everyone else has been postin up progress i figured I might as well too. Its all good news so far too Very Happy

. I'll start from the beginning...

Well I put this 383 in my car and kept the 700r4 for a while. Until it took a turd on itself. Then I had it rebuilt and it did it again. So I said eff this I want a 5 speed! Hehehe I knew I was in trouble...

After being down for almost 2 months I took it on its first drive today! OMFG what a difference! I love this thing even more now (didn't think that was possible) Lovey lovey

. It feels faster and runs a hell of a lot better too. I was ripping through those gears lol I'll never go back to autos if I have a choice. Never. I'm still shaking and grinning from slamming the throttle. Anywho I just thought I'd let ya'll know that I am a convert to the 5 speed club. And I have to send out special thanks to Turbo_Jimi. I would still be searchin for parts if he hadn't come through. Thanks man! Peace... Twisted Evil

Glad to hear. There is something fun about rowing your own gears. It makes all the difference in the world!

I'm so happy now its ridiculous. And driving is a whole lot more fun now. Just takin it for a spin was awesome. Driving every day is gonna be sweet. I hardly ever smile but its impossible to not smile while I'm driving it, especially with open headers Twisted Evil

. There is definitely something fun about it. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this thing. Now I just gotta learn some of the techniques for driving this thing lol Very Happy

Do you know all the parts I need to start collecting??

You'll need:
Clutch
flywheel
bellhousing
shifter
center console plate
clutch pedals
torque arm mount
and the under dash panel that covers up the wires under the drivers side. I just cut mine to make it fit the clutch pedal though.

I think I left something out though...
