Fitting the transmission:

The advantage of the 2" body lift was that I could retain the cross member to mount the rear of the transmission.

I fitted the old mounting rubber on top of the cross member after manufacturing mini-brackets to tie the rubber mounting to the rubber mounting:

Position of the gear levers on the transmission hump:
The workshop that fitted the Borg Warner T5 really butchered the transmission hump. That was because the T5's lever sits way forward, relative to the Mitsu ones.
I cut all their mods away, ending up with a crater in the transmission hump (torsion bar visible through hole!):

I then shaped a 'cover' from 1.6mm aluminium sheet to cover the hole and provide correct placement of the rubber boots:

This is the final result, with the transmission shifters visible through the hole:

Here is the final result before fitting the carpets:

Dash board:
I completely removed the dash board.
Firstly it was to be re-sprayed, but it made the modifications to the wiring much easier:

Heater:
When fitting Chevy V6, the previous workshop found the space between the engine and the fire wall a bit small, so the solution with the heater pipes were easy:

After I had the pipes cut off and new ends soldered on:
