Apart from engine and box what else do i need? Hard to find out exactly what i need as im gettin told different things. Any help would be greatly appreciated :thumbs: | |

To be honest im not sure on comparing it to anything but remember you will need the 5 speed linkage aswell as box if converting it to 5speed unless keeping it on the 4 :) | |
