Chris Streit "cstreit" (also a moderator in the racing forum) has one that is already shortened, with LSD, ready to go...I think it's only had a few hours of use since it was rebuilt....

tell him Souk sent you.

You need to remove approximately 1.1" off both the bell housing length and the main shaft length. You also need to modify the end of the shortened main shaft to fit the pilot bearing. I recommend having the work done by a professional like California Motorsports or Patrick Motorsports.

You will also need the pedal set from an 87-89 car to get the hydraulic clutch, yes?

+1, Matt knows stuff.. and is also a great source for a LSD. Worth every penny - you'll thank yourself later, if you didn't have a good one already.

CMS were very helpful, I found. PMS can tell you what clutch stuff to use and provide the other conversion parts to make it about as close to bolt-in as it's ever going to get.
