After 15 years, I'm putting the 5 speed into my 82 diesel and have decided to try to find some 83 & up engine mount bars to do it the factory way. (For any who might not be aware, in 83 they moved the entire drive train back approx 2" to make room for the longer 5 speed transmission.) MANY other parts are different, too. I'd consider buying these as well: cold start cable, oil fill tube probably the two hoses that go to the radiator. I'll need this stuff shipped to NE Iowa, unless you are within 300 miles or so. thanks, Al Brase 82 diesel sunroof |
