you are correct. deadbeat's subframe is made special for him by granny. it protects the pan.

3. DIY CAI ~$300
5. DIY harness ~$250
6. DIY A/C ~$400

the above totals ~$1,800, just off the top of my head.

anyone else.

well, since we're going to make another one of these threads...(which i will be subscribing to this time.. ) i think we forgot the:

fc speedo adapter 700r4. Ford right angle fitting with a little filing on the Mazda cable and/or key going into the trans will fit in the trans tunnel. Available in different ratios. This should be found at your local trans shop for around $10 used. A little BFH work may be required for your specific application.

We are not the cheapest for the clutch or the FPR. We will however save you shipping costs if you get them from us with anything else.

Fuel quick disconnects with fuel injection line and fuel hose clamps (special kind DO NOT USE THE REGULAR KIND - it is unsafe) can all be picked up from car quest for much cheaper than a braided setup and allow you to use your stock hard lines. (maybe its me but I love good hardlines)

can't believe no one has mentioned the C4 vette driveshaft tip for the FC! you're looking for the alluminum unit which measures about 27.5" between the centers of the u-joints, from an auto C4, they usually run anywhere from $40 - $70 on ebay. if you have the N/A differential you want to order a rear flange from rockford drive#R2-2-3173, and you might as well order two 1310 style u-joints (K153) since there is a minimum order. i still have yet to figure out where to get the TII rearend rear flange. the front yoke is #R2-3-6081 . You can make a great alluminum driveshaft for <$100.
