    adapter sticker shock

    So I am just about to put a 2002 5.3L Vortec in my '84 FJ60. I called up advance adapters and was a bit blown away by the cost of the adapters to get the engine hooked up to the stock 4 speed tranny. The quote was for: Mark's adapter, their Chevy v8 conversion kit, and a few other odds and...
