First, I wish you the best of luck.

Second, I want you to keep the list advised as to how you do, what problems 
you encountered, and how you solved them (other than slathering on the money).

What year is your 5KQ donor car? How much of it are you going to be able to 
use and what will you need to buy that is standard shift V8Q specifc?

(See I've got this 86 5KQ sitting in the back yard, and while there's 
nothing wrong with the autobox on my V8Q YET . . . )
