Just need your shafts and outer shaft case assm. and we can get it done, these made specifically to your shaft. As for the female end, sorta bad news, the guy is checking but it may be pricey. His best guess was $50-100 for that end alone. We'll wait and see what he comes back with. I'll know more by the weeks end.

Now I am interested in getting a Vortech SCr. Will this void any warranty by Vortech though? I know they have been pretty good about it when THEIR stuff went out, but what about with this? I know it shouldn't go out anymore now, just wondering.

Boss,
This will surely void the warranty on the shaft due to modifying it. The warranty on the unit as far as seals and such go shouldn't be adversely affected though. Of course this is just my opinion.

Hey dude,
I would love to get the shop info. from you. I haven't had any problems with my s/c yet but would be interested in avoiding any potential disasters buy getting the shaft and splines reinforced. Do you think the turn around time could be even quicker? Do you think any machine shop could make these upgrades?

so $375 total for a "rebuild" and new female end? Thats over $125 cheaper than vortech for a far superior product

Warranty from Vortech - I'm not sure exactly how they would handle the shaft, but I really think this is the best solution. As for the unit itself, rick summed it up in his post.
Regarding turn around time, I did mention that several people were interested to my source. I told him it may be wise to make a few of the housings in advance, but he still has to modify your outer shaft casing, as I said it takes 8 hours per unit.
Also the time frame includes shipping time. So depending on how fast you ship and how far from Ohio you are also will play a role.
Another shop could do the work, but they would have some leg work to do, which could cost you more and you may not get the same results.
BTW- I am not profiting from this, I am just offering this solution because Vortech has done nothing for me. Companies who show little to no support to customers deserve to go bankrupt.........

For those interested, I'm sending my shaft out tomorrow and I'll let you know my impressions as soon as I get it back. The car should hopefully be running the weekend of the 3rd.

I'm in dayton and would have no problems driving tp there to have it done. Would your source accept pre-pay to expedite things? Thanks for the help!

Anyone have a donor shaft to start a mini-core return? Just don't want to take mine out of commission that long.
I offer PnP Heads for all durtec's details at PnPheads.com or jesse@pnpheads.com for details.
