Still available.

thx Greg........no need for specific mileage.

We now need to work logistics and core for my current '88 S4 gearbox with limited slip and TT

If we were closer the entire pwr train could be swapped over

That would make it easy. Seems like shipping is going to be a real killer..

Hey Malcom - just put your car on a truck, send it to Greg, then fly down to get it when the storker, torque tube, and transmission/differential are installed. Then, drive home with a great big GRIN on your face!

Your GTS will then be the second fastest car in the family!!!!

Just driver her down! It's only 1841 miles each way! Or 1943 miles if you want to buzz Vegas each way...

Amazingly, after cutting a bunch of stuff out of the way....not too bad!

Cams are still in time. Alternator mounting area needs a bit of welding....

Distributor caps and wires....

Alternator pulley and A/C pulley lost some paint and coating...
