Looking for some direction.

any conversion kits out there(?) - rob

Generally speaking, I'd suggest staying away from the kits. It seems that as I've gone through my conversion, I've learned that they aren't as good as the write ups in the catalogs. A kit may sell you engine mounts, headers, and oil filter relocation adapters. You pay your money for it, only to discover that one of the items works just the way you expected it to. The others end up, in frustration, on eBay. I'd recommend that you do your homework and purchase pieces/parts on an individual, "as you need them" basis.
You've found your way to TRS, a great resource for your conversion. One of the best things you can do is learn how to navigate the Search feature and read yourself silly.

Don't pass up the information in the Technical Library, at the top of the page.
