The oil pan on a auto car is not the same as a 5 speed

but it will work, once you get the trans out and mated to the V8, you will see what I am talking about!

The Clutch- you will need the 5 speed flywheel! $$$

the flex plate from the auto will not work!

the clutch is a mix of things, 1)Disk is 5ktq, and the pressure plate is 3B.

Engine mounts- you will need both V8 mounts, and both 4kq chassis mounts need to move.

Cooling system- I used the V8 stuff. It will fit, the core support will need to cut and tweaked to fit.

Exhaust- the stock headers work fine, the right one needs to be cut and rotated, about 4" from the collector flange.

The M/C is in the way of the dist. I'll send you a photo off the set-up. 

Oh, by the way the Hp/torque output is no big deal, I have well over 300k on my trans, It is a late 84, so it has 4:11. first gear is almost worthless!

Just have fun!
