Re: Christmas Super Early

What would one pay for a six speed north of the border? What is going in front of it?

Oh, I completely agree. This will be no show truck, but my daily driver, when it's done.

Not cheap, that's for sure. Somewhere around $4000 with certain goodies, hydraulic throw out bearing and Tilton 7.5" triple racing clutch, 1350 rear spicer yoke, etc.

It will be behind a 4L all aluminum twin turbo V8, with a super charge and dual water to air intercoolers. Horsepower goal 1000,Torque goal 800.

I'm so excited.
