1990 SN,351 Ford single exhaust,Remove  engine box, rear seat,floor board,put jacks under manifolds.Remove  trans,starter and bell housing. Install same with new damper plate. rotate mounts away from trans for clearance, 2 bottom studs are used to slide the trans in place. Change the shift lever to top mount or the trans will be backwords. The muffler was the biggest work due it needs 3-4 inches of clearance due to the shift lever and the cooler fittings, the new trans is a little bigger. I cut 2 slots in the muffler glassed with Bondo Glass and cloth. Fill the muffler with water to check for leaks, had to do this several times. The muffler might be moved back 3-4 inches with new hoses if the engine box will clear. Winter project, 2-3 days work one person. Randy

Sorry no pictures, If someone is going to install the kit, I will take the engine box off and take a few.
