Got it, I think.
Trust me if the 999 comes through, I'm sure I will be pestering you with pictures before we cut anything!!!
Only reason I asked if it had to be slant 6 or not is I am looking at a few "core" transmissions Wednesday that are like 4 hours away. I want to get at least one as a backup if the 999 falls through. they are V8 transmissions and I wondered if one of those would work is all.
