Bud Man,
Thanks for your input. The Kirkhams now take care of the placement and fab. of the Side Pipe hole if you order the Headers and Side Pipes from them, which I did.
I plan to install the engine first and then the trans thru the interior by removing the tunnel pieces.
Did you have them install your carpet? And also, where is your battery located? I would prefer to mount mine in the trunk on the shelf behind the bulkhead.
And finally, are you using a Clutch Slave Cylinder of a Hydraulic throwout bearing (Tilton of other)? I'd prefer the Slave since I have heard from reliable sources that the hydraulic bearings leak and are a pain in the back. Fine if you are a racer and tearing into the car every other week but a hassel for street driving. If you used a Slave who's did you use and where did you get the mounting bracket, and fork for it?

Thanks
