Matt,I  could duplicate and /or modify something,like the subframe,but 
wouldn't try to  engineer it from scratch,at least today.If I found the parts I need 
to  complete the 4.3/saginaw (hyd bell-clutch),i'd get the shaft& adapter 
from  Chris and be on my way..he helped me get the Hurst together right,and i 
think  i have a source for 1/2" cr/mo tubing, if Rob Stowe is still in town..i 
tig  welded bikeframes for him 15 yrs ago..just re-assembled the '66 saginaw 
with a  good mainshaft+needles from a 3sp,and i'm thinking of dragging a spare 
T-5  in,while i r/r the diff...wish they'd done a manual box on the Intrepid !

Tom - After attending SEMA this year, I am more motivated to complete my V6  
in a vair conversion. (mine will be hanging out back). I am also looking 
toward  turbocharging and intercooling the engine. Remembering that the 
Syclone/Typhoon  had the 4.3 turbo'd - I may be able to use some of their parts on my 4.3 
 All-Aluminum motor. There is even a set of Stainless Steel headers to 
replace  the cast Iron Turbo manifolds and cross-over. A bit pricey, but maybe as a  
future upgrade. I am still looking for a few parts to complete the EFI set-up 
 for the motor as well. - Seth Emerson
