Transmission is a T5 from a 2.8 Camaro.

Were gonna have to widen the tunnel a bit and the original box steering had to go to fit the motor. Were going to use an S13 rack with a custom column. Also the brake system on the 2002 is very interesting. The pedal box is floor mounted so the brake rod is a pull type, which then cantilevers into the booster to become a push type. I think we might mount the booster in the back seat using the pull linkage. Overall the project is off to a smooth start though. Motor fits fairly well for such a small car, it's pretty light too, and we already have a bolt-up transmission (this frustrates me to no end considering my transmission adapter fiasco on my own car).

Cheers,
Sean
