    This is a race box only. Many racers have no reverse and no parking brake. Didn't Mke Mark Eberhart on this list make the supercharged 308? He needs this gearbox!!! I know the man who built it and he is the real deal. There are not many I would hand my keys to and Joe San Paolo is one of them.

    pma1010,

    How much money do you have? I have seen Joe take a 308 and do the 348 inlining of the motor and gearbox long before that job got popular. I have seen awesome multidisc race clutches and cut out flywheels as well as bread and butter general repair. Joe is awesome. There use to be this guy Theiler. He was a legend in his own mind and a nice guy RIP. He was right next door to Joe. There was unspoken competition between the two. Theiler would machine all knids of *****in looking stuff and do some high HP things mostly to 308's like flaming red powder coated valve covers and red powder coated springs, old school giant pistons but with little testing. Joe on the other hand did more quiet high HP and suspension things but test the crap out of them to really find what works. Joe's "flash" was creative genius. Customers who knew cars appreciated joe's work. He is always talking about going testing at Willow Springs our local race track. Joe absolutely proves what he does. Theiler was more Bling...all show but did it go?
