a fan of doing the stick too.

it is straightforward but not a weekend job. my indy charged me about $1200 for labor i believe. at 60/hr this is 20 hours, and that is with a lift and all the proper tools in hand. also it is with two cars to start and not having to chase any parts.

the reason a 240/300 is better than a 300sd or 300dt is that the 240 is much simpler all around. simpler ac is the best part. and it is a little lighter. and it is fun to have something that didnt come from the factory that you "created".
