Cody, the hardest part is paying for the parts, you won't have any big problems with the doing portion I'm sure.

Well with this site, I'm sure I'll be fine :cheers:

Excellent !  :2thumbs:

So how does the car feel compared to before ? I'm sure you were boiling the tire with that open rear but how does it work now....hook better and increased acceleration ? Are you happy with the swap ? Is it what you expected ?

Thanks
Thats why I tried to take lots of photo's. Because I knew a lot of you guy's here have been considering 3rd member swaps. At least I seem to see a lot of threads talkin about it.
Do I decided to dig in and do it.
I'm pretty happy with them. Again, It's not a lot more gear then I had before but it is definatly a better hook up at the line. I can feel that for sure. Pretty sweet.
Again, Someday I may do it all over again for a 3:55 swap but for now I'm pretty happy with the 3:23  :2thumbs:
