Hello, I am working on a 242/Ford V8 swap. I bought an unused Converse kit for an automatic trans swap a couple of years ago. Body restoration and suspension, (and garage expansion and a full knee replacement!), have kept me busy while I kept on the lookout for a Mustang/Explorer donor car for the engine. I have a Mustang T5 manual trans.
I will gladly trade the info pertaining to the auto trans install for the manual trans info. Many, many repeated attempts to contact Ross Converse have failed completely, so I'm assuming they are gone and there is no issue with sharing the info, but, hey Ross, if you are out there, PLEASE give me a shout! Does anyone still have the manual trans/clutch, etc info from Converse? Yes, I do have a copy of the JTR Chevy swap manual that uses the odd "sideways" Camaro trans and I know I can figure out the manual trans issues on my own, but since others have already dealt with this, I would sure like to study their solutions.
And yes, as has been stated many times before in relation to the Converse kits, it was definitely underwhelming to open the box and see what it contained. Thank goodness I didn't pay full retail! The printed instruction manual left a LOT to be desired too, but in the end what you're paying for is knowledge and experience, not necessarily product.
Don't see a copyright on anything, so to all you lawyers out there; any problems with posting a copy of the instruction manual here? Don't want to get sued.
