Thanks Ray...Coil springs.

I'm guessing the hassle of finding and shipping a rear end is going to out-way the "ease" of a new transmission - so for now I'm leaning towards the new transmission. I see at Bowtie Overdrives they talk a good game about their product. I used to live in the Bay Area and loved looking around "Pick-N-Pull" (I think that was the name...it was long time ago) - but here in NY I don't have anything like that so to find a rear end it would probably be something sight-unseen.

Between my three issues - city MPG, hwy MPG, and cruising at highway speeds - I'd be most interested in solving the last two...so a 4spd transmission should do that. (It is kind of a shame as the current Turbo 350 works pretty good).

Best,
TT
