The only real modifications were we had to hammer a flap of metal down so it didnt rub up against transmission. we also had to bring the transmission mount or crossbeam up a few inch's and bolt it in place. we didnt have to even touch the main firewall or heater core so thats a good thing. and yes i have thought about changing my exhaust manifold to a cliffords setup but i do believe that is where there would be problems.. you would mostlikely have to install a heat shield after you find some way to run it without chopping it to pieces. the intake is all one so there is no way to change any of that, you'd just have to mill away a bunch of metal to than be able to bolt on any carb you'd like. the 250 heads from Australia have the detachable intake manifolds and hook right up to the 200 ive read, but they are hard to find and are used.me likey, im considering this swap too when the 2.3 dies, ever consider swapping out the exhuast/intake manifolds for better ones? the stock ones are known for poor preformance and fuel starvation on cyl 1 an 6. did you have to do any body modyfacations? ie firewall cutting, etc...
