That, and it doesn't take much effort at all to deal with the crossmember.
FCs use a very 1st-gen like crossmember, FDs don't use a crossmember, you'd have to adapt the PPF mounts to a custom crossmember.

T2 tranny is A LOT easier.
Here are a few pros and cons...
T2:
Pros:
1. cost
2. Same style clutch
3. Relocating the shifter mechanism is easier
4. availiability
5. You can screw in the speedo cable
6. Adapting the tranny to the cross member is easy
Cons:
1. Less "cool"
REW
Pros:
1. Really "cool"
Cons:
1. cost
2. different style clutch
3. can't relocate the shifter
4. availiability
5. You have to epoxy the speedo cable in.
You decide for a part that you can't see...

t-2 it is then, so it'll bolt right up to the rew engine with no prob's right? and now how about the flywheel? use the t-2 or rew flywheel, because the engine i have is auto so ima have to convert everything over

I have a REW with a stock flywheel and a T2 HD PP and 6-puck clutch. T2 tranny and a T2 starter. Everything works great.
Kevin I am interested how you relocated the shifter. If you wouldn't mind elaborating I would apprecriate it.

shifter location depends on how you mount the motor. I pushed mine almost all the way back for weight distribution, so it pushed the shifter back about an inch and a half, but with the short shifter installed it is basically perfect. Did not have to cut the shifter surond with the short shifter by the way.
