Need manual trans info from Converse kit, trade auto trans info?

Mine is an '82 242 w/5.0L and T5. Cable actuated clutch, cable driven speedo. I've got the JTR Chevy small block into Volvo book, some sort of Converse 'manual' (also includes lots of other articles about driveshafts, Ford efi, etc. - all loose leaf bound in plastic sheeths in a paper binder) and a 42 minute Converse VHS video on the swap.

The V8's been in mine for almost 20 years (96 swap) - and I didn't do the swap although I've had the whole thing apart playing with engine/exhaust mods.

I'm happy to send you what I have (you got a VHS player?) --- just need you to send it back when you're through.

I've also got to think this isn't too complex. You've got to fit the clutch cable end to work with the arm on the Ford bellhousing; get the T5 speedo gear/tranny seal fitting (from a Stang) attached to the end of the Volvo speedo cable, run your back up light wires down to the reverse switch. And the tranny mount is just a 3"x5" piece of 1/4" plate steel that's bolted or welded to the Volvo cross member with holes drilled to fit the Mustang tranny mount. Once you've driven it and see where you are on speedo accuracy, you may be able to select a different number of teeth speedo gear to correct.

If you want the info I have shoot me a mailing address. You can send me back a few bucks to cover mailing when you return the stuff.
