Some of my information went into making that manual too.

I realize it's copyrighted, but at the same time it's also currently unavailable through any legitimate means, and the amount of $$ he owes some people on here would buy just about anyone who was interested a copy of the manual.

I don't really care either way, i'm just sayin....

I'm just very happy I went with TPC. Luckily I found out about the issues Greg was having before I ordered up a full kit from him.

It is more of a compilation of articles and lists of parts. Someone, should make more of a step by step on how to do an actual conversion. The RX-7/LS community has done this much better on http://www.grannysspeedshop.com/ they have cookbook manuals for the swaps.

I'd be willing to contribute. My opening would be, 'Give your head a shake'.

If someone needs a step-by-step manual to do these conversions, they should just take their car to TPC and save us all the headache.

Personally I think a step by step manual would be great.. Some people would love to learn how to accomplish a task like this. I know for me I've never pulled an engine or rebuilt one so I can say I would love to learn these things but not everyone has the friends to help that have the technical expo nor wish to spend money on a class that won't be a benefit for their career.

Of course I have some newbish experience like belts, plugs, wires, bulbs, change oil, starters, fuel pumps, doing filters and etc.. I'm mainly a body man, I do custom fiberglass work and paint. Any who thats my take. Though I am planning to try this conversion later on, going to save up and start buying the pieces for it when I can.

I have one and you can have it for 50.00 shipped. Let me know. My car is eventually going to TPM anyway.
