Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link

The crate LS alone is north of $10k now, the trans/bellhousing/flywheel/clutch setup probably another $5k. Aluminum driveshafts with the big Spicer joints ain't cheap either. As they say over at Hemmings in their auction reviews, try building one for this money ($22k at this moment.)
