    Bolts straight on if you are using large flanged driveshafts!

    What do you want out of it is the question?
    I can build a box that will be rapid to around 125 but you'll be revving it hard by then, but as said, it'll accelerate up there quickly!! :lol:
    Or you could go for a longer ratio box, you'll be able to pull a higher speed but getting there won't be as fun.

    Sounds good, what kind of cost would that be? My ideal gearbox would be fast 0-80 (1,2,3,4th) but a nice cruising gear and a LSD while it's apart!
    Already have the larger inner driveshafts.
