Got the new transmission in today, took me about 2 - 3 hours to get it in by myself.... That was a bitch.... But she's in now I just got to cut my floor some or is there some kind of sift tower relocated type thing ? I just need it moved back about a inch or two.... But I have to do that then make a new transmission mount then do the wiring then bolt up the transfer case and drive shafts then finish up and go for a drive!!! I'll take pics tomorrow and I also got the oil pan gasket and oil pump replaced and that was a PITA!

I think you are going to need to carve on the tunnel for the shifter. Nothing to relocate it as far as I am aware.

Figured as much.... That's what I'm going to do today, and get the transfercase and cross member back in.

We'll got everything in besides one crossmember witch just is held on by four bolts but I need to get my front drive shaft shortened and I have to modify my four wheel drive shifter but I drove her today and I had forgotten about plugging in my speed thing for my dash and she wouldn't go over 2200 RPMS but when I left my neutral safety switch grounded OMG there's so much more power with this manual than that auto that was in there, I just get to get all of my trim pieces to fit and put in, then she will be complete besides a damn shifter ****.... But I love it! It works perfect and I was able to keep the swap under 500 bucks because I got everything out of the ram donor, but I had to get a pilot bearing oil pan gasket oil pump, and clutch master, but I did great I think!! I'll get some more pictures uploaded here soon guys! But I now have to get my parking brake fixed!
