same here, i took 3/4 of an in.off my input shaft housing, and got my adapter plate from bensens, and he even set me up with a clutch disc that fit the trans spline for 180.00 ......like you said "worth every penny"....the only other thing i did was I took the s-10 shifter to work and straightened it in a 20 ton press....looks professional...lol
