It was quite a project, not for the faint of heart.
The good news....the conversion "took", as my son just drove the car 1300 miles to Minnesota for college. After the complete conversion "from taillights to headlights" we drove the car about 200 miles (December 03)and the dreaded pinion bearing whine began. So out AGAIN with the damned powertrain (Aug.04). The total trans. rebuild took us about 3 weeks, including some major maint. to the engine (front/rear seals, headgasket, 3 broken exhaust studs, and many a late night...
It appears to be successful, given the trouble free roadtrip my son just put on the car.
Let me know what specific questions you have...you can use my work email.
We may have also discussed a 9K Aero question, the ex-wifes car.
regards,
DET
