Drew you are gonna really love your 700. If it's your first OD, you just WAIT until you are on the road and you manually shift between 3rd and 4th a few times. 'Tis worth all the trouble...
You engine sounds like it is gonna be so killer.
I've been tempted to do the dash swap but I'm such an old fogey traditionalist. (And I've got the decent Poncho gauges in the dash so I wouldn't gain a whole lot. I do want a trans temp gauge, and that has to go somehwere. (Consider getting a nice big cooler for your 700.)
Brett: In for two - got it. You're welcome. FGFs rule!
