I gotta say I'm impressed.. Shifter feels more solid and accurate. Clutch pedal is a little more stiff but thats fine cause I know the 94 clutch spring is more stiff.

Ok I bought a high lift last sunday time to mount it.

I cut a couple head bolts in half and welded them to the rack.
Used the left overs of the head bolts to make a couple wing nuts. Then clamp the jack down with a couple C channels I found in the scrap pile.

It's got a nice snug fit.. Now I gotta figure out how to make sure it won't grow legs and walk away.
Maybe a cable lock like I got on the spare tire or.. Drill a hole through the head bolts and stick a couple pad locks though them so you can't unscrew the wing nuts?

I got that from Auto zone.
it would not fit in the original mounting hole so I just made a little box for it.

Well after a couple years of driving around with incomplete trim on the nose I finally got the head light trim. I think I like this look better.
Also painted my spare rim. Gonna mount it tomorrow.
My 33x12.50 15 spare has been on a stock wagon wheel this whole time lol.
