what did you do for the shifter modification? I bought a mustang shifter base(much cheaper than the camaro shifter and just have to drill 2 new holes to mount)and plan to weld a leg to it to get me closer to stock location. I think there is a 2.5" diff in shifter location between muncie and t5. Although, I am 600 miles from my car and can't confirm any of this. hearing what you did may help.
I know that washing and waxing my car with the present condtion of my paint is like polishing a turd.....but it's my turd and I want it polished!
