Just wondering how hard it is to swap in a 5 speed. Need to know steps. I have an 89 Grand Marquis swapping in a 351. Let me know. Thanks

Not too bad, need to make the clutch pedal mounting and the cable/linkage for it and cut a hole in the floor. There are a couple people that have done it on the "other" site...Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
