plus its cheaper getting this whole, running, driving car then looking for just engine tranny combo. he is letting me have it for 3k cuz he says its hard to put in gear but from what ive learned the t-56 have a quick fix for that. when i drove it, it felt great. ran really good actually and the body is straight.
