Don't worry, my memory fails me as well :) Some metal grinding/clearancing is needed for the rear engine carrier where it passes over the oil pump cover for the full flow pump cover. Also, you CAN install the full flow system without having to wait until a rebuild (that's how mine was done) and the instructions that come with the GB kit explain how to do it (you will need an air compressor). HOWEVER!, it's not recommended to go full flow on an engine that is "experienced" (has several thousand miles already on it) unless you change the filter multiple times. There are no pictures on the internet that I've seen except for mine, and those are limited (one is http://homepages.infoseek.com/~t3t/Main/fullflow.gif). Clearancing the mount and possibly the fan housing is a trial and error method (grind, fit, grind, fit, etc.) because you don't want to take too much off.
