    Yeah, that was the donor vehicle I had targeted as well. Did you pick & pull it or find it online?

    Which astro gear set? Some of them look to be over $1500. I always heard the weakness was more in the housing on a T5 than anything else.

    I was pricing TKO 500's at Summit and Jegs for about $2300.

    What are you going to run for a supercharger? I have a McCullough VS-57 that I'm going to get rebuilt.

    Local yard pulled mine for 50.00.

    Astro has a set of 485ftlbs for around 1600.00. G force makes a 500 ftlbs kit for 1300.00.

    You are right on the TKO 500. That is a viable option by the time you rebuild and regear a T5. Do those have a mech speedometer?

    I am running an M112 off of a ford lightning. Gonna send it to stegmoller for a clean up and port and polish.
