Ron,

The MED kit looks great and the price is amazingly low.  Because of it's des=
ign I'm sure it works very well.  But installation is beyond the average hom=
e mechanic.  The MED kit requires very precise machining, drilling, and thre=
ad tapping on the rear main bearing cap.  Gerard's kit bolts on using existi=
ng bolt holes.  Even I could do it (if I could afford it).    :-)

See you at Grattan.

Rick
