The first weekend in February, I'll be up in Oregon cleaning out my storage unit and shipping everything to Texas at long last. I long ago came to terms with the fact that even though I like 5-speeds, I'm pretty happy with the slushbox in the V8 and won't ever get around to making the swap. I don't mind dragging all the 5-speed stuff with me to Texas, but the girlfriend is on my case about it, pointing out obvious things like, "It's just going to sit there in the garage if you bring it down here." So....
I've got the 5-speed transmission, pedal cluster, drive shaft, transmission tunnel, shifter linkage, subframe, and 2 axles, all from a 200 tq (10v or 20v, I dunno). 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 in for a couple of years, nice and dry.
If a V8 lister wanted the stuff and was able to come get it out of my storage unit in Damascus, OR (near Portland) sometime on Feb 7th or so, I'd let it all go for $400.
If not, then another house in Texas will have a bunch of spare car parts sitting around, which will make me fit in pretty well with some of the neighbors, except for the fact that my spare parts won't have a GM or Ford logo stamped on them anywhere.
