    I decided to go old school. I found a v6 out of another jeep that runs great for $150. So I will have to get different motor mounts I assume. I talked with Herm(OD guy) an he said he has a PS kit that I can retain my Ramsey PTO. I found a front disked D30 narrow trac, for free. No gears. I would like to upgrade brakes, but want to maintain manual brakes. I was looking at the holbrook springs. Want to go that route, but sure seem like alot of $$. Cleaned out the jeep and am goin to start stripping it down. I wont do a frame off. Heres some quick questions I have.....

    1--Best prices for T90 and D18 rebuild kits?
    2--Herms PS kit a good setup? I dont wanna piece kit/parts together.
    3--Good master cylinder for disk front thats manual setup. Factory location?
    4--Are those Holbrook springs really worth the $750 asking price? Seems kinda high for 4 leaf pacs.
    5--Will my D27 gears fit in a D30?

    Do a search here on Holbrook - they've been discussed quite a few times. Synopsis - people really seem to like them, people say you can do the same thing with Durango springs.

    On #1 - don't shop on price. There are parts like the D18 Intermediate shaft where the quality varies greatly, and getting an inferior part means another rebuild in 5K miles.

    I'd say just call Novak, or buy the Novak stuff through Herm.
