Does that mean that your "spare" gearbox will not be available anymore? Or is this the swap you had alluded to before?

It's like mathematical pr0n!

That's the biggest reason that I'm attempting my custom box: terrible acceleration from 15-20 mph because of the RPM drop from 1st to 2nd. I'm staying N/A for the time being, so I don't need these ratios, but it's great to know that there are now some real options other than buying whole used transmissions to scavenge parts. I'm assuming that the gears will come as a complete pair (roller bearings, synchros) sans hub?

It is the one I had mentioned, this should eventually free up my original case for your project.

I don't find the 1-2 drop to be that bad, because the total ratio in 2nd still allows for good acceleration - assuming you have done the xB FD or run 13" tires.

We are N/A, I would be less incline to search for gearing advantage if we had big power, all of this effort is to make up for a lack of power.

My area of expertise when it comes to transmission is pulling it out of the car. The kit came with six gears, input and output side for 3rd, 4th and 5th. No bearings, at least not in the form I am use to seeing them in, but they do look like they have a synchro on the appropriate pieces. (note the gear on the right of the image)
