Fitted the 5 speed pickup gearbox today. Bolted stright onto the original x memeber after removing a bracket. The only mod needed so far is I need to extend the prop by about 3". Also cut off the old engine mounts and hopefully going to lower the RV8 in tomorrow for its first trial fit.

just a word of warning mate,dont do what i did and fab up the mount to close to the starter motor,its a pig of a job to do if the starter packs up,especially lying on your back on the plains. looking cool though mate.

Cheers Mark hadn't thought of that. Gave it a trial fit today and would you belive it would have bolted straight onto the original mounts if they had been a bit slimmer. Pi$$ed off about the 4 branch headers though, foul the suspension so gonna have to fit standard manifolds.

Looking good mate. Mark, Steve, would any of you happen to be keeping a list of things u have done and bought for the conversion. The reason being is after the year i am gonna do this too as a project, not myself though but with the help of someone who knows mostly what he will be doing, i.e a mechanic. Cheers guys hope you can help, willing to pay a small fee for advicewhen the time comes round

Most of what I have done is in my head. But I do have plenty of photos. All you need do is ask as I have done ( with Mark) as I go along.
