OK, IF ANYONE FINDS A DEAL LIKE THIS LET ME KNOW I'LL GIVE YOU MY CELL # SO I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT ASAP! come on. thats soooo cheap for a g50, i'd've definately gone for that and eaten the shipping. Sorry volkdent for killing your thread. It seems that this is the most popular thread and everyone checks here the most...including me.

Rock and roll, the rear suspension is here, so is my motor (to bad i'm only gonna use the heads off of it), and i'm still looking for a good deal on a g50.

Darren, sweet looking panel in your avatar.

LLB, be careful about getting too new of a box. Make sure you can get it adapted over. "I think" the watercooled 911s have a completely different bellhousing. They are not gonna be any stronger than the older boxes but might create unessecary costs that you could use elsewhere.

Good thing for me, the water-cooled 911's didn't start till the 996 in 99', so consiquently all of the tranny's from 95' to 98' are all identical apart from the c4 boxes, they have a 9.31 rp, which handles 800 lb ft of torque in a 3100 lb car.

Wasn't sure when the waterpumpers started, don't they all have basically the same bolt pattern until then??

Not to break up the tranny chat or anything but I did get the front end completely finished today, just alignment and shock/spring changes to be done. The steering shaft went just fine last night, that is until I got the U-joints installed.

I had a wump, wump, wump as I turned the wheel. I was pissed, because none of the angles are adjustable, they are all built in. My bug lives over at one of my rental houses, and the guy that lives there use to restore Mustangs. He's out there with me as the 3rd arm, and when this happens he suggests the U-joints have to be offset, that is, the center section can't look like a flat H, it one of the ends has to be turned 90 degrees to the other.

It was getting late and I was frustrated, so I left it till today. He lent me his 3rd arm again, and I dismantled it and re-assembled it 90 degrees to the other U-joint.

PRESTO FIXO! Its works like a champ! I'll get some pics tomorrow, I left my camera home today.

PS. I started this thread a while ago for obvious reasons:
