YES!!!!! It lives. Awesome job man. Other than the few hiccups you mentioned how do you feel about it overall?
I think the 4.6 needs to be next......

It could still use some tweaking with the shifter... It works really well, but I think there is much room for improvement... I just need to figure out a cost effective way to get it working and "looking" great... Ahhhhhhhh.... I think the 4.6is needs to be next... It is just the obvious candidate on so many levels... I'll be gathering all my parts, cleaning up the operating room, and double-checking all my notes... Now it is more about turn-around time... And method of operation... I'll keep everyone posted!!! Thanks again!!!! Cheers!!!!

Good work! I've been following your thread for a good while, and I'm glad to see it runs and goes through the gears. This would be great in a sport model or a 4.6is or something
I wonder how long the rear sub frame bushings will last on this torque monster I know the 3.0 5MT's like to tear them up, I can't imagine what the V8 would do! Keep up the great work and keep posting videos!

Sub-frame bushings huh.... Hmmmmm... I wonder if it is due to the rear end gears being so low (numerically bigger)?? Think the 3.0's all have 4.10's... I have 3.64's... I'll just have to keep an eye on them... I guess the fact that all the torque going to the back won't help much either... Ahhhh, about the movies... I took a video on the way home from work yesterday morning and I need to flip it... I don't understand why it is recording in the correct aspect, but the computer won't adjust using the camera settings... So, the video is sideways... I have discovered ALL the "FREE" video editing software (that I tried) is NOT "FREE"... One wouldn't deal with MP4... One puts a watermark unless you purchase the package... the other won't let you save the edited version, so it's done, but sitting in the program format that is unusable for youtube... Some I just could not figure out to save my life... I think it is time I just go buy a basic program from Bestbuy or Walmart... No subscriptions, no ads, no yearly fees, support if needed, and it'll come with an instruction manual!!! And just be done with it... My computer should have come with Windows Movie Maker, but I can't find it or get it from microsoft anymore... Frustrating... Thanks again!!! Cheers!!

If you plan on doing more of these manual swaps maybe it wouldn't hurt to get something like adobe premier and sticking the whole build on youtube. I hear some of those professional youtubers make Big $$$ from the ads

Can't you do some basic editing within YouTube? I seem to recall posting a video that somehow ended up upside down and YouTube had the ability to flip it.
I have replaced the rear subframe bushings on an E53 and it's not too bad. Especially for someone who just converted and automatic to a manual! I bought the special tool. You are welcome to borrow it if you need to do a replacement.
