Best and Worst
Hi there. We are about to put a subi motor into our 76 bay, and a new gearbox. Just looking for some advice. If you have done it, what was the best
thing you did and the worst thing you did???
Any ideas on costings or general advice would be really helpful too. We will be doing the conversion ourselves wiht the help of COR conversion
kit.....

I would put the costings including gearbox at around $7000 if you do it all yourself.
