This type of conversion has been just about beaten to death. There are many many posts on this over the past few years. You are a member for 3 years and certainly must have seen alot of the posts?

5 speed economy
Saving money is a good thing, but be careful when comparing price to value.
A Keisler kit has all new parts, does not hurt the value of your car (increases it actually), does not waste your time and does not nickel and dime you to death tracking down or fabricating parts.
You buy it, install it and drive it. Everything is new and everything fits.
