LOL, the only thing that worries me is the stock driveshaft, even though these tracks down here dont really get prepped real good. As far as the swap, I've got everything, the only thing that I hadn't found is the shaker brackets to bolt the shaker on the Eaton, but this guy over at M1R that has a set laying around is gonna make me a copy and send them to me. I didn't want to do the swap because if I didn't get the brackets I would have to drive with the Eaton exposed through the shaker opening. Brackets should be here within a week if everything works out.

Post up a video when your all done man. Cant beat that Eaton whine, I love it! I know a guy that had a Kenne Bell on his and he still had the shaker on it. He tried to put a 9lb pully on it without an inter cooler(ran it on methanol I believe?) anyways, he blew it up! Now hes in the process of putting in the alluminator with the KB, Full exhaust, and a cobra r 6 spd! He hopes to be over 500HP and I cant wait to go for a ride lol. Hes expecting to be done by August. Your car looks badass btw, sometimes I wish mine was Black.
