I just picked up a good 1993 NV3500 today with shifter, release arm, and slave actuator and i really want this in the 87 SWB. I already found a slave unit for the firewall and know i have to do some plumbing(tube bending), but thats the least of my worries. I still need to find all the clutch/flywheel hardware, but what demons are hiding in this project? thanx , crossy

pics would be GREAT!
