yes the search funtion can be difficult but the other option is to wade through some forum headings.projects / mods is a good one

yes its been done by quite a few,im doing it right now on the brother n laws truck

bell housing and parts most find on trade me (hard and not often to pop up) or buy from aus.dellows you deal direct,marks have a distributor in chch

theres a start for you

You can always go down the commy auto/bighorn transfer case path, seems like its been done a bit and alot cheaper than an adapter kit from auz

That's a good idea mate thanks heaps, I know a lot of people rekon auto is better for off road no clutch contamination etc etc and its easier driving but i do like driving a manual if i was going to go v8 i would have it auto for sure but as my daily driver it would be way 2 thirsty for driving every day lol
