update. . .
i ended up mounting it this afternoon. i did it just like shockwave. as far up as it would go, right in front of the opening in the bumper on the passanger side. it doesnt look as clean and pretty as his or racecougar's but its secure and safe. i had to move the horn out of the way. that was fun. lol
i'm going to connect it on saturday.
however, i'm going to flush out the fluid and put Trick Shift in.
****
i read that i can run the engine with the lines disconected and pump out like 90% of the fluid. i was then going to just fill it with the trick shift, forgoing the whole process of dropping the pan. i had the tranny rebuilt last year so i prob don't need to replace the filter or anything.
is this safe to do? if so does anyone know approximatly how much fluid i'll be needing to add? i bought 8 quarts already. is this enough? my local auto store doesn't carry trick shift, so i cant exactly go to town in the middle of the job if it's not enough.
