Ok. For the spacers, what are they for? what are they spacing out? Also, for the exhaust, will my manifold bolt up or do I need to get that too? are there any other accessories I should pull from the MS vs using the one from the Raider? Thanks


The spacer goes between the flywheel and the crank, it spaces the flywheel out to where it properly sits, see the manufacture of the transmissions was not the same manufacture as the engines, since the trans was used in many things, it was up to the engine to 'properly align itself' so thus came shims, spacers, bushings, etc etc.

There's a 1/2" thick spacer between the crank and the flywheel, then a large flat washer with 6 or 7 bolt holes in it, this gets stuff aligned.

exhaust manifolds are different i think, i would just yank the whole engine, engine harness and ECU.
