For firewall insulation, I use Reflectix™.

ok I spend about an hour searching for this thru a few different threads... Can I use the factor exhaust crossover or will it run into the trunk? I really dont feel like test fitting it again to find my answer.. i see most people are running under the long axle instead of using the caddy crossover that goes over the axle.

Are you using the factory rear manifold?
When I was first doing my swap, it looked like the factory rear manifold outlet pointed right into the trunk.
The rear manifold could be turned upside down, but then it pointed right at the rear cradle crossmember.

Yes both manifolds and crossover are stock . They face the trun and a turn down was made to exhaust

that's exciting. I could of sworn i test fitted the rear manifold and it ran into the trunk. I will see!

wondering if anyone has any clever ideas for this issue haha

4 speed?

Shelby computer and OBDII throttle would get the ISM out of the picture.
mcfrandon NOV 29, 12:50 AM
No i started with a 4spd but there was no way of making that work, it was just too far off. This is the Isuzu 5spd.

I was thinkin more along the lines of spacing the throttle body or moving the cable mount to the drivers side a couple inches and making some small adapters to move the selector arm mounts over the same distance.. is that unheard of?

The Isuzu trans is a rare choice, but this guy did it with a 4.0:
