I currently have a 23 spline tranny that I am considering rebuilding. I have seen sets of gears on ebay and the like to convert the tranny to an 18 spline for around $ 850. I wouldlike a 18 spline for added strength, and I wonder if anyone has experience with doing this, or will I be further ahead to buy a rebuilt 18 spline from Brewer's or Passon?
I'd be interested in this as well...thought about the conversion myself, but other than older used OEM gears, I've only seen the Zumbrotta gear sets which are new aftermarket gears, but i havent heard much about them
got any links to the ebay ads?

You do know that you have to replace the input shaft , the cluster gear and all 3 gears on the mainshaft to do the conversion.
from what I have seen the complete kits do have the input, cluster and 3 speed gears in them

Where did you find them for $ 650?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/833-HEMI-GEAR-SE...60#ht_500wt_969
When I talked to zumbrotta gear last year, they actually had the hemi set listed at 650 and the 23 spline set at 850...im sure it was a mistake, since even the guy on the phone was surprised, but nonetheless those were their prices
But I was never really able to find many who have used the gearsets, let alone use them with success
