that's actually not too bad.

what about turn around time? how long will it take you to get to it, once it gets to your shop?

I suppose I'll make things more complicated, if I'm paying someone to take it apart, should I upgrade the syncro's while I'm at it? I've heard about having these "pro-shifted" ...something to do with the syncros that makes them much easier to shift. I read in the other thread about the iron vs bronze syncros, and RPMs are not a factor...my big block stroker has a hydraulic flat tappet cam, so I run out of revs at around 6200, and I'm running a stock electronic ignition with orange box, which supposedly will only fire 6000 rpm worth of spark. do I even need upgraded syncros?
