Steve,
Quaife lists several versions of that same box.  The $1325 is the baseline box. 
 The heavy-Duty synchro complete box is $1900, while the Dog
engagement box with shift lever comes in at $2550.  The HD synchro complete box 
with Short tail case and lever is $2250.

There are 2 more boxes with range change which are $3325 and $3825 (the later 
having dog engagement)

I suspect that if I buy into this technology, I will be getting the short tail 
HD synchro complete box so my starting point will be in the $2250
range.  Then I can count on some modification costs to get all the Spitfire 
parts to bolt up!

How do I get in touch with Warwick?  Does anyone know his email address?
