Hey Doug:

Is this conjecture, or experience?  If it's as simple as your post makes
it sound I'd be really interested in such a conversion.  I'm literally
TRIPPING over TR7 transmissions.  Does it involve driveshaft mods or
machining of any sort or is it as simple as accumulate the proper bits
and do the wrenching?

Drooling at the thought!
