Rebuilds aren’t really available any more because the shaft seals are unavailable and it’s not the same turbo as other versions of the RHB6. Send a pic of your Spider! I didn’t know you had a Spider but I just realized I recalled seeing your handle on one of the forums or FB groups.

The nice thing is your parts will be dim'ed by weight. The exchangers were priced by size of the box. It's much bigger than it is heavy. I would be surprised if your shipping was over $100 if packaged properly, and that's with 2 packages, one for the manifolds and the other for console.
Home Depot has great heavyweight boxes for the pair of manifolds.
It's no beauty but very little rust for a Northeast car, shock towers are good and I actually like the later hood. And instead of getting the 1438 going, I would love to find a good running 1600 to drop in. We'll see.
