jamie , looks good .
a few questions , is that B body shift mount a machined piece like the e body or is that a stocker cast piece you happen to have ?
had you put any thought or effort into replacing the roller bearings the factory used with a taper roller bearing ? i can see one stumbling block , but i haven't made the measuremments yet to see if parts from a T5 can be retro fitted between the mainshaft and the iput shaft .
also , have you assembled on and had it installed behind a high HP engine in a racing atmosphere ?
my need is for stock appearing racing and if it can handle a wide open throttle shift with a 550 plus HP engine its of little good to me ...
unfortunately the stock appearing guys as well as resto anal freaks will have to grind off your logos ...
running up my post count some more .

Ed, Main case ready to go. $250.00 Tailhousing, ready to go $250.00 Sidecover $75.00
Buy the whole set $550.00
Not bad, folks - it's cheaper than steak on a per-pound basis :-)
I already have an aluminum tail housing and have to pull the trans to fix the tailshaft busing. Have to check how much work to rebuild the trans and go from there...
