  Seriously, you will need several HD hard parts and perform several modifications especially to the valve body and lubrication areas. Is this something you plan on tackling yourself? ------------------Alex Denysenko

 The C4 that I have is a 68 with 24 spline.  If I rebuild it, what would it take to install a stronger input shaft? IP: Logged |
