I did not do the conversion, however, the job was done quite well in my opinion! They mounted the standard side ears for the engine mounts on the frame, then made mounts for the hydraulic bell housing and that's it! The trans fits in the same hole as the original! The 4x4 levers and brake handle bolt up the same! The radiator clears good too! Even the stock oil bath air cleaner fits!! The swing pedals and frame were welded in place with minimal bracing and both the brake MC & clutch MC mount on the original firewall!
The only thing I notice is the engine & trans sit about 1/2 " higher than original 6, thus the e-brake handle just rubs under the dash!!
Its a clean job! No vibrations!
