MA5 5-speed to 5.7 hemi?
Just pointing it out. Buschi had to relocate a couple of tubes on his headers (as I recall) when he had the LA motor in his car, not sure what he did when he put the Hemi in. At the time, I don't remember him being able to find an 143T flywheel because he had the Dakota one welded up and drilled, so it sounds like things have changed.
Again, just making sure you were aware, not trying to steer you a different direction.
I agree that the AR5 divorced shifter will be too far back, but I still think the MA5 shifter is going to right in line with the TB crossmember.
Here is Buschi's R154 with a Dakota bell:
This is from a guy on Neons.org that put a 2.4 and MA5 in a '77 Celica:
Comparing the two pictures makes me think the shifter on the MA5 will require some additional crossmember work.
Again, just trying to help, not trying to discourage.
