LOVING all this info from all you way more experienced guys. i guess i found one of the best (easiest) year cars to use for a swap really. Now i gotta get the thing! I know i can make it fit, now i'm getting a little more comfortable with the idea of the electronics. Thank you!! and keep it coming!

(side note) to throw a wrench into and help my plans, i just got a 99 mercury mountaineer for free. Fired up after a year of sitting. I haven't driven it yet though. It was my friend's, who passed away tragically. His dad gave it to me. Just a second old vehicle he had but used occasionally with out issues for the most part. V8(basically a 5.0 mustang motor) 2wd 117000 miles, great tow truck. The problem is it has the rear axle i want to use in my fintail, EDIS system and all the rest of the stuff,(WRENCH>) but the v8 in it makes decent power and bolts right to a t5. It's gonna be so tempting to say f#ck it and throw it in one of my cars. Easy front sump conversion(unlike a chevy), Easy to make tons of power too. Must remember i need a good tow truck/parts hauler!!!
