What we need list:
Car jack, jack stands, socket set, breaker bar, air tools, torque wrench, etc.
I would really like to start this as early as possible. I want to get this thing done so that other people will have time to have their install done.

right on, I can supply all the car-lifting equipment and air tools, along with torque wrench and 1/2 inch death-bar.
My big thing for the weekend is gonna be changing out the valve cover gaskets. Should be straightforward, hopefully. Also have to do other maintennance like oil change, coolant change, air filter, spark plugs, etc....

Cool, do think I could get you to come early to help me start pulling parts off my car? I think I found hubs off of NASIOC. Hopefully, I won't get screwd. We'll see.

Maybe someone that has done the conversion before... but how do we deal with the valve proportioning. Sonic_yellow set me this link. It only refers from '93-'96 models though.

it looks like its a part of the master cylinder. And we don't need to change it. According to that FAQ, our cars have the best master cylinder anyway, so you should be good to go.
