transmission swap
#33
Its just like with my bro's 3rd gen about 7 or 8 months ago we did the plugs on it and what shoulda taken about 45 minutes took us several hours because we couldn't hardly get to the #7 & #8 plugs plus while trying to put plugs in #2 & #4 I dropped the plug trying to thread it into the head and instead of it landing underneath the car in the grass it lands on the crossmember and rolls between the k-member and the oil pan.
And for those pesky plugs find an old motorcycle spark plug wrench that's stamped steel. Cut it off so it's only got about an inch of the socket, and then weld a little round bar stock to the side. Bend the bar to an angle that works. It will easily slip over in any tight places and run the pug in or out.
Or get a BBC and have easy access to all the plugs!

Ehhhhh...that's not going to work. A shorter tail housing isn't going to change the fact that the output shaft of the trans is still too long.

Is that an easy thing to do? I assume its not. And how would I do this? Seeing as i know jack about transmissions.
