Nice job  ;D. The gear lever on the Sammy case looks a long way over though, I assume thats to keep the oil level good.

The lever stays in the stock location. The entire length was taken into account to keep the sami case in its stock position in the frame rails.

OK, what am I looking at then. I thought that was the back end of a Track/Kick tcase and that this was a dual tcase conversion for a Track/Kick. Is this a dual tcase conversion for a Track/Kick motor  and trans in a Sammy or I am way off?

You can use it for both, in a sammie you just have to widen the tunnel a little bit to get the trans to fit, Heather runs this setup in her four door kick with fj80 axels.

Just like mrfuelish stated. It is meant to fot in the rails of a zuk using 1.3 (lucky13) to kick trans and case mated to the zuke case. Keeping the zuk case in its stock location. I dont see any reason why it could not be modded into a kick with a little fab work. We are finishing up 3 right now for customers. Then I want to make it an exchange program. I will have 1 or 2 done on the self. So you just send me your case and and a slip yoke and you get the moded case back with adapter. estimated cost at this point is $675. for the exchange and no 8 month wait. Once we have the first 3 complet we will revisit time and material to get the an accuraute cost. Each case is milled in a fixture so they are all identical not hack and cut with a sawzawl. THe last pc. of the puzzle right now is the shifter the customer may have to tweek the zuk case shifter but I am working on a away around that so it will be a complete product when sold. Not a Oh by the way do this to make it work..

Meaning I dont want a customer to do anything with the product other then have install it. My thought is if a customer has to bend pry, or alter something they just spent good money on to make it work, it is not a complete product and more thought should have gone into the end result. So it wont be released until it is 100%  ;D
