Andrew,

Your pleas may fall on deaf ears. He told me that they are OUT of that
business. To begin with, they only wanted to sell complete conversion kits to
install Porsche drivetrains. My guess is they did not want the MSDS name
associated w/ incomplete or hybrid conversions. There is a greater likelihood
that will happen when a purchaser does not acquire everything to complete the
job. My second guess would be that manufacturing the kit in components is not
economically acceptable to them.

Only MSDS can really answer that for you accurately.
