I've pretty much sourced all my parts for my conversion over this brutal winter. I have an appointment with Jamie Passon for next Saturday. I'm bringing him the 833 I have to see the condition of the internals from a professional eye (looks good to me, but what do I know? LOL). At that point I will decide whether to have him rebuild my unit or possibly buy one of the OD units he has on special. I'm hoping my unit just needs new seals, bearings, etc and the gearset is good. My purpose in converting to the 4 speed is to be able to have FUN with the power of 1st and 2nd gears. Putting in the OD unit sort of defeats that purpose since first gear is sorta sluggish according to what I've read. I'm really not concerned with the advantage of the 4th OD gear since I won't be doing that much highway driving. Any opinions on that train of thought????
Only parts I still need are bellhousing, flywheel and clutch. I'm leaning towards the Centerforce Dual Friction unit. I heard a lot of good opinions on that PLUS I won't have to deal with installing the overcenter spring on the new pedal setup. Also, Brewer's has a repop 513 Bellhousing for $300 that I might use. Anyone have any experience with one? Also, any suggestions on flywheels?
As always, thanks for all your input gents. My son and I can't wait to start the project!!! :headbang: (STILL some snow outside, waiting for it to all melt.)
