Great news Mark, congrats!

Dave, the smooth case requires the the gear synchronizing cones to be shrunk
on. This is typically done in a heated oil bath (250F) and both inside and
outside surfaces need to be machined rather precisely before and after
assembly. I rebuilt one of these in the late 60's, but parts were easy to get
and finding a shop to do the work was easy and reasonable.  If you had all the
parts ready to go, it's no more difficult to rebuild than a ribcase, it's all
that comes before that's the obstacle.
