wat do u mean its a big swap? big as in difficult or expensive? if u mean expensive i have someone thats hooking me up with parts that he can get dirt cheap and since i already have to replace the whole front end it wouldnt hurt to do the conversion if it isnt gonna cost that much more.
really just wanted a list so i could get an idea of how much everything was. still not sure if im gonna do it.

I have a few friends that have done this. The best person I can get you to talk to is a friend of mine, Grant, also known as "MeenZ28". Here is his myspace.
