gauging interest on my 930 trans and V8 conversion setup

So I am seriously contemplating stepping up and laying out the cash to get a sequential shift, non-synchro'd racing transaxle for the race car. But to do that I must first sell my 930 stuff, so here's what I have and want for it:

1. 930 trans. Has new carrier bearings on the diff. The guy I bought it from was a Porsche mechanic in SoCal - I dunno if you guys know how those diffs have to be adjusted but it is a BIG PITA, so he had the 930 in storage for a rainy day, another one came in and needed rebuilt, so he took the cover off of this one and machined it so he could set the other up. So when it came time and he sold it to me, he sourced a new cover and new carrier bearings, looked inside the case to make sure the synchros were all still good and so forth, installed the diff w/ new bearings and fully set it up for me. So it isn't "rebuilt" but he assured me it was in good shape and solid. I have maybe 12 track days on the car since then so she should still be solid. Shifts fine and so forth.

2. Kennedy flywheel, aluminum pressure plate, stock organic disk and Porsche TO bearing. Again, 12 track days at most. I had the whole assembly out in May for my annual "go thru everything" and I measure the clutch disk and it was still at the "new" spec, so there is essentially no wear. Everything looked great while I was in there as well. I bought the nice alum pp to keep rotational mass down. No slippage with 438 ft-lbs of torque/525HP on the track including drag racing a couple times for fun.

3. The adapter plate is up in the air - consider it not included currently. IF the new trans is available with a Chevy bellhousing, then I will include the plate for free since I won't need it anyway. However, currently the trans is a Porsche bell and therefore I need the adapter plate to install it. They are the cheapest part of the conversion anyway so no big deal IMO.

4. I have a late model Porsche tower and aftermarket cables I have adapted for a cable shifter. I will include all of that as well but with a warning - the transmission stuff is specific to fitting with my tube chassis, so you may need to fab those parts yourself, hack and redo mine, or simply buy the trans pieces that Patrick or Renegade use for their 930s.

Trans and clutch assy are worth $5K IMHO so that is what I expect to get. I have more than that in it with 12 days of use. The cables and shifter and so forth I have $500 bucks in just parts so consider that a freebie included. If you don't want them and want to do your own thing, it is still $5K it just won't cost you as much to ship not including that other stuff. If I dig around my scrap metal stash I might even have my alum adapter bracket I made to bolt the late shifter down to the stock location bolts in the 914, but can't promise that I still have it.

Interest?
