t5 trans swap?

My Quick Time clearance bell came yesterday, now it's time to get my steel flywheel balanced for my cast crank (340) and buy a clutch. Because it is my back and forth to work car, and it's fast approaching nearly two grand for the suspension mods and V8 conversion bits, I'm leaning toward the McLeod diaphragm clutch kit that's under two bills at Summit. Anyone had any experience with it?

A buddy and I are going to pick up a Valiant 4dr roller to cut up and use as a fixture for the floor and crossmember mods (to keep the runners running while we do this). This will enable us to check clearances, modify any parts that need it, make linkage decisions, and construct patterns and jigs to make the process repeatable any time later on any car.

are you using mechanical linkage? if you are and need to know what works and whast doesnt pm me and ill help you out
