transmission and clutch went in today and its allback together. Tons of torque, lots of shifting in city. but that fifth gear is NICE. 
Im tempted to tear it apart and change the 4th and 5th gears to even taller ones

cleaned up the engine bay some over the past couple days.. cleaned up the underside of my hood and finally installed new insulation stuff in there. looks a MILLION times better.
p.s. I bought the material for the hood at a car stereo store. its the stuff they use to wrap speaker cabinets with. cost me 5$ a yard.
I made a pattern with a sheet of old plastic and then cut the peices to fit. I used heavy duty 3m adhesive, (comes in a big can and actually says right on it that its for automotive underhood insulation pads)
after masking the hell out of everything, I applied three coats on both surfaces and let them set up for 5-10 minutes before attaching them.
they seem to be on there really well.
one more thing, I did double check the flamability of the material. I used a torch on it and I couldnt get it to ignight, so I think Im OK. it would just melt when it got really hot.
anyone want a copy of the pattern?
