Re: cut-out fender flares, etc.

The cheapest 7.3 I've found so far was 4500 for the complete motor & trans
so I'm still looking. I only want the motor because I plan on using an NV
4500 5sp trans and my Dana 300. Advance Adapters told me they are working on
a 7.3L-NV4500 adapter. Mucho bucks I know but I think the end product will
be well worth it. The 7.3L with the Banks Power Pack puts out over 600 Ft
lbs. of torque! That coupled with the 5.34:1 1st gear of the NV4500, the
D300 4low (forgot my ratio) and the 4.10's in my Corp 14 bolt and Dana 60
should keep my local driveline shop in business!
