    Great car, that's gonna be a handful w/o power steering, minimum you'll need a larger diameter steering wheel. Install chin-up bar in the garage, you'll need it to build up yor arms.

    Update: every thing is ordered and on its way for the four speed swap hopefully it'll all be here before the weekend really want to get this car on the road.
    I also am considering getting a Gear Vendors overdrive for my m22 don't know if any one has used it on here if so how did it install and how do you like it?

    So far the m22 is all in with clutch and linkage and the crossmember was modified to fit the muncie better (thanks dad) the driveshaft is all in and the shifter is mounted the next step is wiring and she should fire right up...I hope

    The '61 Bonneville in my avatar has manual steering. It's not the greatest for parallel parking, but it's really not bad at all driving down the road.

    Also now the cars mostly all wired up just need to add fluids and start it up but I'll wait till the morning it's already midnight
