Hi Jim,
You forgot to mention that deal is 700 bucks.
I can't see the wisdom of spending that money just to bring it close to a stock 200 1st gear. It's never going to as fast anyway. That is, unless there was a real good reason to keep the 700 trans. Such is not the case here.

If it were me, and I already had the o/d trans, I'd probably remove as much of the weight as I could, including the 4th stuff. Then I'd build an 8'', which would be basically, a metric 200 ,with a 30 spline turbine hub.
Then I'd probably figure out what gear ratio that would hang it's tongue out in the quarter. Then I'd back off one ratio, and see what happens.

But, I'm not Dan Fahey.

Dan , you don't seem like a real hands on guy, so here's what I'd do.
Sell the 460 E and the Yanker to one of your buds on the SS forum. Then let me set you up with a 200 / 8 ' combo what would be reasonably priced.
Not looking to get into a bidding war here. Either in or out..What say you?
