We think that with some modification, we can reuse the stock e-brake crossmember so I won't have to go the '66 e-brake route. If all goes well, I ought to be shifting a 5 speed next week!
Sorry to hear that you need a new engine Rich, but I imagine that the peace of mind is worth something.

Peace of mind is worth two wives, 74 kids, $3000 and a bottle of good hooch....maybe more.
But, lemmie know the clutch plate #, pressure plate and throwout bearing yer using if its a 14 spline.....I'd like a 10.5 with the stock 65 pressureplate and throwout but if not, we'll see if a complet package for an 11" Astro will bolt up.
