Thanks for the info. But NWOR and longfield are very well known around here already.

NWOR has a BAD rep for not providing very good customer service. Thats why its known as No Warranty Or Returns

Longfield on the otherhand, an excellent company with excellent warranty and service. Only way to go to beef up your toy drivetrain.

If you want swap parts, skip NWOR and go with www.advanceadapters.com

For upgraded yota axles weather you live hear or on the other side of the country Longfields are the only way to go! 30splines and you must also buy either the driveflanges or inner hub gears if you the warrenty but its well worth it.

As for NWOR I havent had issues in the past with them but i have heard alot of other people have issues with them. AA and Downey also sells the kits.

IMO go to a junk yard get a alluminum radiator for way cheaper, build your own motor mounts and save too. Its real easy if you have the skills, tools and ability I know not every body does. Sounds like the kit is what your wanting but alot of the parts and stuff can be found cheaper buy not going with a "kit" style order. I got a flywheel for about $75 heavy and 168thooth at a local shop. For your chevy im sure you could find good deals on summit or even just the parts store for the clutch kits. And if you need a mini starter for that motor go to summit. Summit sells a Summit brand mini starter for about 130 compared to the ones on AA, NWOR and Downey havefor over 200.

Just a few ideas for ya. Good luck with the swap. Another good option and a real nice fit with plenty of power is the chevy 4.3 Alot more popular in the yotas cause of weight and 350s put alot of fast wear on your yota axles, trannies and frame.

Is there a question in this thread or is this a plug for NWOR and Bobby.. if so there's a vendor forum. If not what rock have you been under for the last 10 years? Those two vendors are two of the best known in the industry.
