Yeah sorry I didnt put those periods on the end to sound like a jerk or something. I posted that without seeing your d/s spacer suggestion(I was typing while you posted) Hope were good in the hood.

Also you gotta remember ctgreddy that the sn's drivetrain is a little longer than the foxes so the spacer is more than likely not needed.

you can modify the stock cross member, if not HPM has a specific crossmember, you'll need a 31 spline ds yoke, 26 spline clutch. If you get a scattershield you'll need to index it, I went with a standard aluminum bell myself, shifter if it doesn't have one, pilot bearing is the same as a t-5.. have anymore questions about it let me know

I believe tremec's website give the #'s on the trans to see what it is


far as your stock stuff I'm kind of a cheap *** I'd say like 600 for all of it
