So I've posted this in 4 transmission threads already but here goes

V160 swap 8-10k $ (6k transmission and 2+ for swap kit) for a transmission that isn't even made anymore!

Holinger/quaife 18-20k (I got actual quotes) $ to hold 270wtq unless you upgrade to the sg3 transmission for more $

Tremec tko(the magnum won't fit) 5.5k $ but it won't shift at high rpm. Liberty gear says they can fix that but it's a pretty big design limitation. It's also a 5 speed.

I've tried cryo and heat treatment and broke that too. The factory gears are as strong as they can be for their size.

If we convert to dog engagement we save a little space and can make the gears slightly stronger but the two companies that are willing to do it want 5.5k $and 6.5k $ but it won't be much stronger and it's a pain to drive a dog box on the street.
