Tranny doesn't fit, now what

Sorry, you said you wanted to get the car together so you could go racing. A budget never entered into the thought process. Parts availability did.

Either way, with everything still left to do on the car in one week, adding a trans rebuild to the project with rush parts shipping and labour, makes the deadline unrealistic. I've already spent a small fortune on UPS overnight shipments from the states in the last 2 weeks, time to take a breath and consider other alternatives. Can't say I didn't try. Kev
