#1 A stout 5 or 6 speed O/D conversion $5.5k+
SFI rated bellhousing, flywheel & clutch
#2 a Strange Engineering S-60 Dana, Sure-grip 1350 u-joints/yokes $3k+
or locker, probably 3.73:1 if I went O/D trans,
depending on which final drive gear ratio or low gear ration
used in the 5-6 speed, I want a 10:1 combined ratio in 1st gear
& at engine to trans spinning 1:1 in 4th
#3 option 1 *custom stainless steel ceramic coated headers
conservatively easily $2k+, more like $3k for that
1-7/8" port step to 2" about 12"s down pipe, keep velocity up
headers, upswept & down the back by the firewall
like the old S/S MW manifolds 'but not cast iron'
(clear my rack & pinion & torsion bars)
so no sparkplug interferences & especially make it easy to get to
going into a 2" scavenger collectors 4-2-1 to 3" v-band off the collectors
& add electronic or manual cutouts, depending on room,
add it into my existing full 3" mandrel exhaust
valve checks would be a bit more timely,
you'd need to let the headers cool completely
#4 option 2 **my only other option is a TTI-383178c only one manufactured to fit,
the Unisteer-Rack & pinion/Power, & that's $1,180 before shipping
I'm sure that'd eat $10k+ up easily, maybe as much as $12k after shipping
