Doug :
This may draw sticks & stones, but nobody can see what transmission is in the
car. Rib Case transmission will bolt right up and is far more reliable
(sturdy) than the smooth case. Rib case transmissions are pleanty & parts
readily available. I'm in CA and have one I'd sell in excellent condition,
but that's beside the point. Recycle the aluminum of the smooth case &
install a ribcase. nobody will know.
