Right on man! I'm so happy, yet jealous for you. Lol. I just received my circle d, but now I'm waiting and working on getting a jakes 3, 80e. Plus I noticed their prices went up.

Are reusing stock drive shaft? If so is it a 1 or 2 piece?

Hope your swap goes smoothly, and I'm looking forward to your pics.

his customer service is amazing. him and his wife are such great people to talk to. i felt bad when i called and checked on my trans because i knew he was busy with race season but they couldnt be more pleasant on the phone. i wish he built 4R100's because i would buy a trans for my sexcursion.

Yeah I was surprised to see him and his family there. His wife walked up behind me and said hey Mr Greene lol, turned around like who the heck here knows me.

Good seeing your truck run, I'll have mine out next year.
