If there is anything else in question I'd rather pay to replace it now then have to rebuild again. I am eventually going to put a solid rear in the car and spray it off the line, so take that into account too. Sounds like this might end up being do-able for $1000 or $1200.
Let me know what the total price comes out to be and what your schedule looks like. Let me know when you think you could have it done for me. I'd paypal (if that's ok) you the money up front, then bring the trans to you when you are in Nanticoke, then come pick it up when it is done. Would be great if I could end up with a PeteK trans. You would definitely have to come to Beaver to watch me go down the track with it! If you decide your schedule won't allow you to do a trans for me don't worry about it, I appreciate your time and help so far. I still hope you can make it to Beaver sometime this year and have a day of fun.
The big thing for me to figure out is the logistics. It is a shame, because I enjoy building these things, but travel, and living in New Hampshire is a pain in my ass. I will try to figure it out though.
There is no available aftermaket input or output shafts for a 700r4. Input shafts can be hardened, but then they become brittle. In my opinion, hardened input shafts is a gimick. Money is a non issue now, so now worries. I have an idea, and want to look into it before I commit.
