Awesome dude. You're a huge help. I've been looking everywhere and started to get discouraged thinking it was almost impossible to have a stick with my motor. I really don't wanna swap engines. The one I have is running strong. Due for a rebuild tho. Just hit 215k and it has no unusual noises, nor does it leak a thing. And just keeping the original block would make me happy. Thanks a bunch again, man. Much appreciated.
