I might as well face the fact that, even though I dig driving manual transmission cars, I actually like the slushbox on my V8's, and really don't want to spend the money and time on having someone do the swap for me right now. So...
I've got the 5-speed transmission, pedal cluster, drive shaft, subframe, and 2 axles from a 200. I picked them up from a guy in Silverton, OR (goes by 'derracuda' on motorgeek) who was going to do the swap for me. Everything's just sat in my storage unit for a couple of years, nice and dry.
I'm leaving for Texas in a week, so if a V8 lister wanted the stuff and was able to come get it out of my storage unit in Damascus, OR (near Portland) within the next week, I'd let it all go for $400.....even Seamus, to whom I gave a higher price last week because I was unsure of letting it all go at that time.
Anyway, if someone wants it, drop me a line. Otherwise, it'll wind up sitting in storage until I have enough drinks to curse the invention of the automatic transmission and decide that all of my V8's, my A6 Avant, and even that old 1980 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz that's been sitting in my driveway since 1989 are getting 5-speeds, 6-speeds, 7-speeds! I'm a lighweight drinker, and prone to coming up with all sorts of crazy schemes even sober, so I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later....
