Thanks Ray for the reply. I will have to start looking for an flexplate to
meet my needs...

I will check out John. Might be a good way to go... Then I'll know for
sure that I have everything correct...

I'll have to ask John that also...

Yea I didn't think about the linkage and speedometer. Linkage from an auto
should work i'm assuming. I'll have to look into that... the shifter I
figured wouldn't be to bad. I can get a shifter from Jegs or Summit and
make it work. A buddy of mine swapped an auto in for a manaul and didn't
have to much problem in his S10... And the trans mount I figure I am going
to have to modify the current one and make it work. I'm hoping that they
aren't to different. I know my automatic 94 dakota has the same trans mount
and everything. I can deal with a little fab work for that...
Thanks again for the reply and the help...
