You can have a BW modified for firmer shift and it's good if your not making big power.
Anything over 150kw and your gonna need to go babyT/F.

I paid $400 about 12 years ago.
Could be like $2500 because of GST. :lol:

are 904s straight bolt in? i have a narrow block but if i get a wide block 2.6/904 i wont have to change engine mounts do i?

will the combo be longer than the 2litre/BW35 combo? do i need to change the tail shaft?

The 904 is narrow block only and yes they are a straight bolt in just make sure you have the spigot, flex plate and bolts to suit or you will end up with alignment issues.
