i got a free gearbox off a very kind gentleman who owns quite a few rare cars and i was hoping to build one working gearbox out of the two broken ones and it turns out both had broke in the same place which is nice how long realisticly should it take with all needed tools and 2 mechanics on hand as well as useless me it will be in a proper workshop with plenty of room to manouver one gearbox is in full working order so im gonna take the engine out and drop the box off put the engine on the new box and return to the car

I'd send it off myself I think. http://www.guess-works.com/Shop/Gearbox/refurb.htm

my girlfreinds dad is mechanic so it will be very cheap and it needs to be done this weekend

Guesswork is the man for box rebuilds, think he has YouTube videos of rebuilds and info
