Stock bellhousing, astro van 11'' clutch, stock 3 speed presure plate and flywheel.

Which models have what gears and mech or computer speedo. I also made a quick shift conversion also works well with long truck style shifter. Anything specific u wanting to know. And move stock cross member towards back wheel. And shorten drive shaft 3". T5 3'' loner than stock trans It was all worth it drives really good now.
