They couldn't get the throw needed with the cable. He either had a nice
engage in 1st with a total slip at full throttle or full throttle grab
and serious grinding into gear if it would even go in. The poor guy
spent over $2500.00 for even that much and it was the third 'build'....

The problem is there aren't really many 'mechanics' left around. They
are all 'technicians' now a days and if a computer readout don't tell
them what to do, they are lost.

So far for my Ford swap into my CJ8 I've been very pleased with the
Novak swap kit. They don't drill the holes in the mounts, you're free
to locate things where they work best for you. I'm using a T-18 behind
it and the t-case adapter to my Dana 300 case was very straight forward
and easy.

Good Luck,
Don W

Sounds cool.
