Mike, gave me some pointers when I first acquired my 5 spd.  If I ever get around to installing it I thought of paying home to do so as he's very close and seems pretty verse installing them.

Glad to see some pictures on this install.

As Soon as I get the TTI headers, Superior Design Concepts Magnum Serp. kit,(I am getting his pulleys and braided steel hose too),, I'll post pics, :thumbsup:

I am using a 90 Amp Alt. with the MAD elect. upgraded wiring and will use an Autometer gauge instead of the bulkhead Conn.  The Power Steering pump is also a "new" (remanned), unit,,both parts bought at Rock Auto with the DCode. The Crank Pulley is salvage from a 97 Ram Truck as is the Idler pulley. The Tensioner is a gm piece. Water pump pulley is a Billet piece from Jerry at SDC  and is beautifully CNC crafted. The high pressure hose is a Braided piece from Jerry as well,,he sells the hose kit and steel fittings. The low side is just black NAPA PS hose onto 3/8" nipples and Otiker style compression clamps. The Goodyear Gatorback belt is also a Rock Auto purchase. The nice thing about this kit is the parts availability which I need because this will be driven from 1 coast to the other,,and into Canada. I have friends all over,lol

Why remove the front bumper ?
