4.44's are done
Well SVXfiles did an emergency 4.44 swap for me on a basically no notice basis on sunday. The swap took 11.5 hours and when it was completed was awesome. I highly recommend Tom for anyone considering the swap and lives within reasonable driving distance. He also did the $15 / 15 minuted mod while the car was on the lift.

Welcome to the 4.44 club.
 Tom did the 4.44 swap on my claret and I'm perfectly happy! Money well spent...I'm sure Tom agrees  .

(It was short notice, but we had enough parts and fluids on hand to get the swap done!) It IS hard to describe the differance 4.44s make, but I have said it before, its the gears the SVX SHOULD have come equipped with! I wish you well on your other projects, built motor, stage 3, an exhaust SO BEAUTIFUL that I could have built it! Oh wait,,,,,  Talk to you later, thanks for the kind words. Tom

Tom has traveled to Florida with his tools to do a 4.44 swap. The member paid for Tom and Diana's plane tickets and the hotel accommodations.
One of Earl's brood has to have a slipping tranny. Maybe you can split the travel costs between you and Earl and get the pair done.
