Is that a 3 speed bellhousing in the foreground - if so, would be awesome if we could find someone close by Disney where you could drop it without too much hassle. Baby due Monday, so don't expect I'll be able to leave the house much for a few weeks....

Doubt you'll be near Maitland - but that's where my buddy Dave lives, also owe Matt a visit next time I'm up.

Maybe Luis, @cruisermatt???

Mike,

Sweet, bring it! I'm certain I can get Matt, Steve or even Dave to pick it up. Will be up there to visit Dave and Matt as soon as the wife gets settled in with new baby.

Thanks.

I'll text you for the details, but plan to drive up the Saturday or two after the 15th. Hopefully I can drop by the dealership first thing and pick it up myself. Then I have to drop off a set of wolf wheels I'm selling.

Matt - I'll let you know which Saturday, want to drop by and talk 40 cage builds.

That's definitely an option, as was managing to nearly destroy my hand patiently installing a nut on the inside of the housing years ago - since which, it's not been a problem. Just figured everyone is throwing these things away when doing 4-speed conversions - so wouldn't hurt to ask Either way, I'm hoping to have time to build a better t-case cross member, belly pan, new rear or mid frame cross member, and then welding in inner frame channels every other 3". Thinking my overall issues are both frame twist and torque.
