yeah all of the above

It's been covered, and expressing carefully considered opinions with supporting evidence for and against as well as actual experience doing it each way will probably just start an epic argument of some sort anyway.

extremely helpful cheers
well its all there mate...
w bell is smaller with a sharper taper to the box.
w box is slightly shorter, has a variety of shifter positions
6 speed is longer, has very long shifter location, and shallow long taper on the bell.

actully the 6speed and w series box are the same length overall its the gear stick which sits back further thats the problem and bigger bellhousing being lomger as well
i just had a sway bar made up to go around the sump ,kept std bar there and used some coat hanger to bend it in the right posi and then marked it and had a new 1 made
on the dry sump i have the pan and pump and also the brackets for it to bolt up to the motor etc ,its all as new ,i just havnt got around to use it yet
pump is a 3 stage pump with 2 stage suck and 1 stage pump bracket bolts to the exhaust side and does pump with belt and bolt that supports the front pulley for oil pump also have a spare idle pulley that sits on the std pump etc

I've noticed that most of the conversions were done using 5 speed.
Has anyone done a 6 speed conversion? What modifications needed to be done on the firewall/ tunnel section?

^ Anthony has, amongst others.
It has a fairly "big" bellhousing with a long taper, so i'd say you would have to do something with the tunnel, unless you want to move your engine heaps forward. But yeah, if Ant finds this thread he will be able to comment
