It used to be (dont know if it still is) $5k walk in walk out from MMS (Maximum motorsports.)

Quote from Chris' endevours.

You don't have to do the fly & clutch but I replaced my fly & refaced the clutch while it was out.

I had 4.44's so I had to do my rear (it was also missing teeth) dependant on the box but you will most likely need 3.9's (not sure what you currently have). There's also the tailshaft that needs to be shortened. One out of an auto is what you need but are hard to find.

This tailshaft business was the reason I went to MMS. I figured fking around with that could have well ended in tears.

I know of at least two people who got that deal. Seems it was at one stage.

I'd fax you the invoice Paul... if only I cared.

Paid 5k for the swap in Sep last year.
