Good day!

Well, it really would be a nice vehicle to convert! I do hope I can get it all sorted out for almost next to nothing... And if I can get it to work with very little custom work, the better for others that would want to do it to theirs... I'm even going to piece together drive shafts until I get one that works, or conclude I must go the custom route...

I'll look into that 4.6is tomorrow...

Cheers all!
