I sold my n/a drivetrain; swapped in a t2 drivetrain, and made enough on the selling to get competition motor/tranny/diff mounts

1200 sounds about right, I'm going to do this myself and 800 is what I will be spending on the lightweight flywheel/clutch setup.

yes it is accually quite a bit of work we did it on my freinds comaro and that was work enough, I would assume that the same amount of work blood and sweat would be involved! so I would have to say that is a fair price!

First off, it's spelled s-e-n-s-e.

Secondly, do you know how power from the engine is applied via a clutch? Perhaps "rookspeed high performance" should look into learning how a clutch and flywheel go together.

IF you're referring to me , you're full of ****. I usually quote $400 for labor and $400 for parts.

Perhaps you're getting that number confused with rebuild installation, or something. For $1700, you can get a nonturbo motor rebuilt and installed all day long with me...

IF you're referring to someone else, my apologies in advance. IF nothing else, it was a good way to get my prices in the thread

No. Within the context, I think he meant to say, "S-I-N-C-E."

I wish Rotary Resurrection was in CA.

Actually I just realised he spelled it wrong twice.

SINCE I asked nicely, it doesn't make SENSE.
