Yes Vern the LT95 is the best bolt in option for sure, I was put off by the cost of building one up to go into the 130 2.5 to 3.5K. I purchased a very very low Kms R380 for $500. Regarding the LT85 bell housing I figured there must be a couple floating about these days with boxes that have been destroyed by isuzu motors.

2.5 -3.5k, is it gold plated? you already have one, so put it in, all you'll need to do in time is find a taper roller kit, but thats not to important. LT95's are not worth that much, i have 3,(2 spares), i just picked a good one up for $800 with a taper roller kit, and just finished fitting it into my new toy. hopefully get the engine in this week
