I would be interested in this swap.
The wheels of progress are starting to turn. I need to get a definitive answer on the engine tune part of this though. I should be able to use most of the tuning PatG has done so far if I go this route.
I love my wife by the way. I told her that I could just rebuild the trans again and baby it until I get a chance to do the conversion later this summer. Her response was "But you will already have it all apart, just do it all while you are in there." Awesome spouse FTW.

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

If I just end up getting the stock clutches, I will probably work on it next weekend. If I end up going with the manual conversion, I am going to take off work on the 19th and 20th. This will still give me the weekend to work on it if needed. Decisions, decisions... save some dough and just get it working again, or go for the gusto and make a unique car... Hmmm... Still need to find a source for that Holden manual car or the manual conversion is a no-go.
