Which ever motor you choose, you WILL trash a few trannys!

I;m staying "D" as it is what I can afford, same way HMT got started.
Ouch ! True.

$50 for a unknown piece, I buy quite a few myself, Figure dropping $10 in parts to replace 1-2 fork and ISB, then sell it for $200-$250. Buy cheaply and guess, or pay a little more to know someone has inspected the internals.

I'm currently running a $40 DX tranny that whines in 2nd gear, WHen I drop in the close ratio box, I'll open the DX box, replace what is needed, likely sell for $175-200.

FYI Local yard I've worked with, DX trannys go for $300, EX/Si go for $350-400. Repair shops will pay that kind of money. I get the cores back, charge $100 to replace ISB if that is whats wrong, the yard has a good core to sell again. If the core is toast, like from a RF hard hit that cracks the case, I try to mate other cases and shim as needed. No spare cases, then I get the parts for free to use as I need.

I want crazy power and warp speed, but I am sticking with my d-series.
