Quote: Also, I wouldn't make a lesser quality gear, we would use 8620 steel instead of premium 9310. That would probably knock about $500.00 off. That to me didn't seem significant.
I think you're right, that isn't significant enough to make it worthwhile. Like I said, it was just a thought.
Quote: The problem with doing an 8620 version is that we just DOUBLED the amount of parts that are gonna sit on the shelf. Inventory is money sitting there. That isn't gonna fly with how much we have out on this project. Jamie
Didn't think about the inventory. Good enough, thank you for the answer.
I keep thinking about how much I wanted a new 6 speed R/T Challenger, and how I stopped thinking about it when I realized that for the money a new car would cost, I could build a sweet Duster or Valiant. For about a 1/4 of the money of an R/T, I could put a late Hemi and your trans in the car and have 80% of what I wanted. In light of that, $4300 is a steal to me.
Thanks!
