Well my sunshell broke last week , So it was time for some work. Since this section doesn't get much action, I figured I'd post this here. Sorry about the picture quality as I only have my phone. I've been working on it a little bit after work at night. Its not complete but I've got a few days off to work on it now.

Can't tell if you did or not, but I'd make sure you reinforced the firewall around where the master cylinder is mounted. I've seen a couple conversions where the firewall flexed like a mofo (because the car wasn't designed with a manual option) until they got some reinforcement in there.
good luck with the swap man, I'm trying to talk another friend of mine into doing this to his impala!

There's a kit called the F2b kit. It is a block of aluminum that mounts to the backside of the booster under the dash and bolts to the cowl support brace also. The f-body pedals and master all bolt to this block. The firewall doesn't really get any more stress.

I need to update this thread as i have a lot more done. I have a thread posted over on ISSF. http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=261283

Well I replied to you about the firewall but I guess the mod's around didn't approve it. WTF is up with that anyways? ok but this post went right through!
