Most definitely plan on working with brother Georg.
Any other mods necessary when going to the Orion? driveshafts, park brake, speedo cable, shifter?
I've already got the IPOR skid plate.
$2k.....geeze......Jeff or/and Lash installs on this.....for the love of God.....work around my drill schedule so I can watch and learn please!
Jeff's will be done before the end of June. Mine will be done by the SCC 2013 if I'm lucky.

if there ever was something like a "little yellow lie", then this has to be it!
thanks for the props charles, i appreciate it.
lash, hit me up if you need an orion. i just got three of them in today; one for bodean, one for cid 96 and one for a local cruiser owner. gonna be a busy week.....
the orions are a direct bolt-in. the only "mods" i've had to do sometimes is to either enlarge the hole for the drain plug in the skid plates or lower the skid plate by 1/4" or so. that's due to the fact that the orion case is slightly larger to allow room for the larger low speed output gear. other than that, identical!
