Finally getting around to shooting a few of the interior, they are big so I'll just post the links... The ones with detail of the A pillar gague pod were out of focus so I'll have to try again... Gauges include a wide band A/F ratio, transmission temp and a vac/boost gauge...

So when you swapping in a 6-speed from an 03-04 Cobra and swapping the IRS? JK. Have you yet considered a 6-speed? I think that if and when I get a Marauder I would push myself toward a Manual.

Chances are ZERO & NONE...

I've continuously owned at least one vehicle with a manual tranny since approx this time in 1968(yes 42 years), believe me the thrill is gone... If I want to row gears, I can bang the ones on the '69 Fairlane's Top Loader...
