No it's not (from what I see), the stock pedal box section is still in the original position, also the hood locks are still in the stock locations, what exactly is the mirorred part???

the engine is still offset to the right so its very tight on the steering box. Luckily i have custom made headers so they are a good fit.

How do you do the interior? Are there after market dashes, etc or does all of that have to be custom created?? I thought some of the stuff I did was difficult - kudos to ya! :cheers:

im not sure whats involved in the interior conversion but it is complex. Ill take some pics tom of the interior and post em.

SLVR77-->Looking for 420+ Horsepower. Hopefully 450.

Shifting with the Left hand is 'normal'. Most people are right handed so it would be better for them to steer with right and change gears with left. Finer control is needed on the steering hand compared to changing gears. My 2c anyway. :D

Nice looking engine :cool:

BTW I agree with the right hand drive being 'right' I drove a right hand drive in the Cayman Islands and it felt natural after about 5 minutes!
