no really, DR EVIL is rebuilding the ol' 901 for me, and I've been thinking

with my brain that a longer 5th gear would be really nice.

With a speed limit of 70 (usually traveled by EVERYONE at 80), my car gets pretty buzzy after a while.

I know it can be done, and if I ever was going to do it....
A flipped 904 "I" 5th gear might work.... of course I've already been advised that cubic dollars are needed AND another mainshaft.
I'm just dreamin'... Somebody slap me with a reality stick. What else would be involved in this? Who has details? Or better, who has a 904 5th gear lying around needing a home?
