OK thats his screen name, go to search, put it in "search for member" or something like that (it is the search box on the right).

Then find his name in a thread, and under were anyone posts it says "PM" (meaning private mesage) And you can get ahold of him like that.

But if you are putting a manual tranny into an auto, as long as you use the auto tranny's cross member it should bolt straight to the regulat mount, because I am pretty sure they are all the same.

Yes, you need what's called a "crossmember adapter." Kevin Landers used to offer one for a reasonable price, but I understand now that he no longer does this. He does, however, have instructions on how to make one here( http://www.rotaryresurrection.com/5speed.html ). I'm sure with a little more poking around, you can find someone who makes them prefabricated for you. Good luck with the swap!

nm, i found it, serious rotary engineering.

I don't think their website shopping cart thing works, so you'll have to email the guy to say you want to buy something. I think he was asking around $50 or so.
