getrag conversion questions.

Since Jasper Engine Rebuilders screwed me on my trans warranty. I am putting a getrag in. Heres my questions. I could find the answers to these in the search i have done. i know this topic has been covered alot. Thanks It is always appreciated

1. Can i use a clutch pedal assembly out of a gasser. If so i got one here.

2. Do i take off the heat exchanger on the side of the engine. Where does the outlets get plugged at?

3. Is the getrag driveshaft different from the 518 or 727 in a standard cab.

4. Will a gasser manual crossmember work or is that diesel specific.

You'll have to do some fabbing to get the pedal from a gasser to work. It won't be 'bolt-up'. The crossmembers are different, you'll need to do some fabbing or get the diesel version.
