I thought I would update this for you guys to let you all know the situation....
I got the install done, and everything worked out great. Started up first try, and runs awesome and smooth....
but there was one serious issue. Something with the throw out bearing/clutch/pressure plate is seriously fuxored, because it won't engage. You can have the clutch out, while in gear, with the engine running and it just idles.
I ordered an Action clutch set which should be here tomorrow or monday I'm thinking. Depending on when it arrives, It's gonna be installed this weekend or next tuesday. I'll post pics later. I'm way too damn excited to finish this up, but it's nice to know it starts up just fine
