I would add that I did mine before any "kits" were around and I really didn't find the conversion that tragic. I cut 1" out of the tab that supports the trans mount on the crossmember and re-welded it. Used an aftermarket speedo cable and for second gen F-bodys, the aluminum Ford Racing driveshaft for a 94+ Mustang is a bolt in with a conversion U-joint on the rear. I BFH'd some minimal clearance in the tunnel and carefully measured to determine what shift lever I needed from Hurst to use the stock console with the Tremec supplied shifter. Certainly not stuff I would pay thousands more to get in a kit.
