On the downside, the Captain uses one, so it can't be that good.
You might want to talk to them in person first; I looked at their web site and their list of mods for the Stage 4 is exactly the same as the list for the Stage 5, so something seems odd.

Yeah the Captain isn't much of a Captain. He abandoned his OWN Thread. I thought the captain always goes down with the ship???

And that does seem odd!
Hey George, Just over 2 months man!
Then we can run em!

BTW if your **** isn't done, I'm coming over and stuffing the engine in that thing for you!

Remember just b/c it looks good, doesn't always mean it Runs good!
My .02! BUT if you decide to get the transmission off of him, LMK and I'll get it set up for you!

BTW JRob56, the transmission is $700 for just the trans. W/O a Bellhousing or any misc. parts.
OR $1100 for a complete swap. T56 with clutch, master & slave, flywheel, trans., and shifter, and etc... The whole swap setup!
The man has a point...Id go for the built one! Fix the paint later.

I'll hold you to that, James. We'll do yours first, if it's ready, then me, you and Alex can get mine done. I only have a couple of small details to take care of, and it is ready to go.
Here's a recent pic, if I can get it to attach:

Don't worry about the way the car looks, If anyone says anything Just race em.. Beat them and laugh at them b/c their **** is slow!

BTW George, I mean it. If it's not running by then I'll help stuff that **** in there lol. BTW It's complete, yank out the other engine and lets get started.

I am getting closer to getting car off of jack stands. Going to put new tires on all they way around and get a 4 wheel alignment. Need to wire up LM-1 to to relay so I dont have to turn it on and off all the time.
Ready to drive this baby again.
I am coming back to Greenwood this spring.

When does the Suds Rod Run start up there??

Thank you for the small information Small Hands. How do you type on your small keyboard, while sitting in your small hands, in front of your small desk? I just see how its physically possible.
