Dude, double-space it to add pages and you have yourself a how-to conversion manual you could sell. Makes some nickels off of that.

Being that it's my first real write-up and that I don't see it becoming a popular swap anyway, I'm letting it go for free. I'd rather spread the word, keep the 3800 cheap, and inspire others to keep modifying these things.

If I added comprehensive information with all the key measurements that essentially show you how to convert ANY transmission to a 3800, I would consider making it into an e-book or something. I don't think I'm that ambitious though. All that information is in a jumbled mess between these two threads if somebody without calipers wants to read way more than they bargained for.
