I used some universal weld in motor mounts and as far as linkages I just had to re-bend all the stock column shift rods to sort of go around the cylinder head then back towards the trans. My truck also has the pivot point in the 2/3 shift rod that normally is connected to the pivot on the original bell housing. So I chopped off that pivot from the bellhousing and welded it to a bracket I made so it actually bolts on with left 2 bellhousing bolts. Also converted stock gas pedal to cable, and had to move over the brake pedal to fit engine in. It all looks stock from the inside and works as stock. I actually just copied the clutch pedal idea (if you can imagine looking at it from engine side of firewall). I moved the pedal over in the floor then I just bent like a 45deg or less angle on the part that goes to the pivot just like how the clutch one is stock. It actually looks like I never touched it. Then I just welded the actual original pedal pad offset on the rod through floor so the pedal spacing is still correct. It was a nice sneaky mod that I had to do because the brake linkage ran right into the manifold when pushed down.
