    Perfect. I need to build one of these at some point. I have the bellhousing off the gearbox I screwed up by getting it aquablasted so should be perfect for this.

    The baja came with both a 1200 that apparently ran when the bug was stripped, and an unknown 1600 which I'm hoping to use. Doesn't appear to have endfloat so I'm tempted to just strip the top end and see how it all looks then try and get it running (it owes me nothing so nowt to loose!).
